Data Detective: Title and Label a Graph
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: adding a question, title, and category labels to make a graph readable
1
Read a graph of pet votes with no title. Write a title.
2
Label a row cat, dog, or fish from its picture clue.
3
Write the question the graph answers.
4
Circle the label that does not match its row.
5
Add a number label to a row with four marks.
6
Make a tiny two-category graph with a title and labels.
- Ask what someone who did not collect the data would need to know.
- Separate labels from totals: labels name categories, numbers tell how many.
- Let the child dictate a title if writing it would hide their understanding.
