More Graphing...

After reading books about children with long names, we decided to graph the number of letters in our names. First we spelled out our names on the graphing strips, then colored them with our favorite colors. Our teacher made a graph with columns for 3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9+ letters in our names. Take a look at the graphing results. See if you can answer the following questions about the graph: (note: the first strip in each column is there just to show the quantity, it's blank so don't include it in your counting)

Look at each class separately:

• Which column had the most?





• Which had the fewest?





• Were there any columns that were the same/equal?





• Were there any columns that didn't have ANY?
  
  

Next compare the AM Graph with the PM Graph:

• Are there any columns that have the same/equal number of names?





• Was the column with the most the same for both classes?





• Was the column with the fewest the same for both classes?





• Was the column that didn't have ANY the same?

What else do you notice about the graphs?

Boy & Girl Graph...

We have many friends in class. Some of us are friends from before Kindergarten; and others we are just getting to know! We made a graph of the girls and boys in our class. Take a look at the photo and use it to answer the following questions:

• In the A.M. Class, are there more boys or girls? How many more?
• In the P.M. Class, are there more girls or boys? How many more?
• Comparing the A.M. girls with the P.M. girls, which class has more girls? How many more?
• Do the same for the A.M. boys & the P.M. boys.
• Which class has the most students?
• How many students in all?
• What else do you notice about the graph?

Left side=A.M.

Right side= P.M.
