Data Detective: Spot a Graph Error
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: checking whether a graph matches its recorded data
1
Tallies show 4 cats, but the graph has 3 cat pictures. Fix it.
2
A graph title says fruits but the rows name pets. What should change?
3
Find the row whose label is missing.
4
Count the symbols and write the correct total.
5
Explain why two symbols cannot show three votes when one symbol means one vote.
6
Draw one small graph error for an adult to find.
- Give only one error per first graph so checking has a clear purpose.
- Return to the source tally before changing the graph.
- Ask the child to explain the repair aloud, not just redraw it.
