Lesson Narrative
In a previous lesson, students used a survey to collect data. In this lesson, they represent their data set, with a scaled bar graph. Then students ask and answer questions about the information presented in their scaled bar graphs.
If students need additional support with the concepts in this lesson, refer back to Unit 1, Section A in the curriculum materials.
