  9. Collecting and Organizing Data: Steps On How to Collect and Organize Data: • Think of a question that has at least two choices for the answer, and write it down on a piece of paper. If you are having a hard time thinking of an idea, go back to the page titled “Ideas of What You can Graph”. • Organize the choices into separate columns on a piece of paper. • Ask as many people as you want to answer your question with the choices you have listed. When they answer, either write down their name or a tally into the correct column they picked. • When you have finished surveying people, take time to look at the information you wrote down. Count up how many people chose each column and write amount in each column. • Now that you have collected and organized your data, look at the page “How to Graph”.

  10. How to Graph: • Pick one of your favorite graphs we have learned about: Bar, pie, Line, tally, or picture graph. • Once you have chosen a graph, make sure you label each column correctly. Don’t forget to put a title on your graph! (use a ruler if necessary to make sure you graph is neat and orderly.) • Then you will take the information you collected/organized, and put it in the correct columns. • Make sure your graph is put together and organized in a way that others can understand. • When you are finished, ask yourself questions about your graph to make sure it makes sense and information is in correct spot. When you are done creating your graph make sure you share it with friends and family! Now that you have learned a little about graphing, click on the pie graph to the left to play some graphing games.
