Activity Narrative

The purpose of this activity is for students to survey a large group of students. This data set will be used in the next lesson to make a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph. This process could take 2 or 3 days, depending on how many students in your school are surveyed.

A blank table for recording survey results is included in the blackline master, but students also can use lined paper.
