Tally Charts, Picture Graphs, and Bar Graphs


Teacher: Lindsay Wong
Lesson Date: March 1, 2016

Overview:
In previous lessons, students have learned about tally charts, picture graphs, and bar graphs individually.
Now we are combining our knowledge of these topics. Students will listen to a story and answer a
survey question. Then, they will practice converting data from the survey (or word problem) into a tally
chart, picture graph, and bar graph and answer questions using the graphs.

AZCCS Standards
1.MD.C.4. Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions
about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in
one category than in another.

Time
30-40 minutes

Materials
Students:

Math Journal
1 copy of journal problem per student (attached)

Teacher:
Duck! Rabbit! By Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld
Poster paper for creating graphs with students
Duck/Rabbit/Red X Pictures to tape onto picture graph
Post-it notes for bar graph

Lesson Objectives
Content Objectives
1. Students will be able to create a picture graph and bar graph from data on a tally chart.
2. Students will be able to utilize data from a graph to answer questions.

Language Objectives
1. Students will be able to orally verbalize the elements of picture graphs and bar graphs.
2. Students will be able to orally describe the difference between a picture graph and bar graph.
3. Students will be able to orally answer questions using data from graphs.

Key Vocabulary
Data: numbers or pictures collected to show information.
Survey: to collect data by asking people the same question.
Tally Chart: a chart that shows a mark for each vote in a survey.
Picture Graph: a graph that has different pictures to show data.
Bar Graph: a graph that uses bars to show data

Lesson Sequence
Anticipatory Set/Prior Knowledge Review:

Teacher asks students:


o Who thinks they know two different ways to tell somebody, Hello?
o Today is the first day of March (point to March on calendar board). Is there another
way to say March?
o Sometimes we can say the same thing in different ways.
o Sometimes we can see the same thing in different ways.
o Here is a story about that! Make sure youre paying attention, because I am going to
ask your opinion at the end.
Teacher will read aloud the book Duck! Rabbit!
Teacher will survey students by having them raise their hand to indicate whether they think the
story is about a duck, a rabbit, or neither while marking down votes on the tally chart.
Teacher will then call students up by carpet row, they will grab a post-it, and place it in the
duck/rabbit/neither category of their choice, creating a bar graph of survey data.

Instruction

Teacher will explain that our data (answers to our duck/rabbit survey) have come together to
make a bar graph.
Teacher will provide the formal definition of a bar graph.
Teacher will help student volunteers construct a picture graph from the survey data.

Formative Assessment

Teacher will ask the whole group to raise their hand if they know the difference between a
picture graph and a bar graph (teacher will ask for a student volunteer to provide an answer,
and if correct teacher will ask other students to repeat the answer to check for engagement and
understanding).

Application

Teacher will ask students (as a whole group) questions to be answered using data on graph: how
many more students picked ___ than ___? ; how many students were surveyed in all?; etc.

Independent Practice

Students will return to their seats to work independently on the Math Journal problem provided
by teacher. Students will complete a tally chart and then make either a bar graph or picture
graph using the data.
Students will answer the comprehension questions after completing their graph(s).

Closure

Volunteer students will share their answers and graphs with the whole group. Teacher will ask
each student if the graph they chose to make is a picture graph or bar graph, and how they
know which one it is.

Assessment

Assessment will be in the form of teacher observation, reviewing graphs and answers to
comprehension questions. Throughout the lesson, the teacher will call on randomly
selected students (by way of popsicle sticks) to reiterate the difference between a picture graph
and a bar graph and to answer questions by using graph data.

Accommodations

ELL support is provided in the form of illustrations/visuals and large manipulative graph models.
Graphic organizer will be provided in math journal problem for visual and scaffolding support.
Teacher will assist lower level math groups with guiding questions, if needed, while they
complete their math journal problems.

Extensions

Students completing the math journal problem may challenge their brains by completing a
second version of a graph (i.e. bar graph or picture graph, depending on what they selected for
their first graph).

Images to print for use on Picture Graph

Jaycee surveyed her friends to find out what flavor of gum they like the most. 4
friends said they like mint flavor. 6 friends said they like bubble gum flavor. 2
friends said they like grape flavor.

First, make a tally chart.

Favorite Gum Flavor Tally Chart

Grape

Then, use the data from the tally chart to make a picture graph OR a bar
graph.

Favorite Gum Flavor

What kind of graph did you make? ________________________________
How many fewer friends liked mint gum than bubble gum? _______________
How many friends were surveyed in all? ____________________________
