| Let's Graph
Here is a good example of information used to complete a graph. Includes an example of a horizontal and vertical bar graph.
Create a Graph
Students can create graphs by entering their data into this template available online. Begin by choosing a type of graph.
Graphing Unit
This teacher-created site tells about bar, line, and scatter plot graphs and shows examples.
Task Time
In this one-page PDF file, students can look at a simple bar graph and then take a class poll and complete the blank one.
Picture Graph
This one-page PDF file shows how pictures can be used in graphing. Includes a few simple questions about the picture graph.
Lesson Plan: M&M Graphing
In this hands-on activity, students work with M&Ms and make different types of graphs.
Make a Living Graph
Students create graphs using people in this class activity.
Sit and Be Counted
In this activity, students make graphs with live people. Students create graphs using their birthday.
