Description

Enjoy a 2D runner game as an introduction to line plot graphs, stem and leaf graphs, circle graphs, and histogram graphs! After each accomplished run you will be provided with a graph to interpret the same data but each time communicating different information. Your goal is to collect as many cans as you can during your run!

Vocabulary Words

graph

line plot graph

range

leaf and plot graph

circle graph

histogram

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Comparing Histograms with Other Graphs. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Compare data represented in histograms with the same data represented in line plots, circle graphs, and stem-and-leaf plots.

A histogram is a graph that provides a visual interpretation of numerical data by indicating the number of data points that lie within a range of values, called a class or a bin. The frequency of the data that falls in each class or bin is depicted by the use of a bar. Every element of the data set is not preserved when representing data in a histogram.

All graphs must include a title and labels that describe the data.

A line plot provides an ordered display of all values in a data set and shows the frequency of data on a number line. Line plots are used to show the spread of the data, to include clusters (groups of data points) and gaps (large spaces between data points), and quickly identify the range, mode, and any extreme data values.

A circle graph is used for categorical and discrete numerical data. Circle graphs are used to show a relationship of the parts to a whole. Every element of the data set is not preserved when representing data in a circle graph.

A stem and leaf plot is used for discrete numerical data and is used to show frequency of data distribution. A stem and leaf plot displays the entire data set and provides a picture of the distribution of data.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are some different kinds of graphs we can use to display data? What does a line plot show? How does a circle graph represent data?

After the Game

How can you easily identify the range, mode, and frequency of data on the line plot graph? How is reading the stem and leaf graph different from reading a line plot graph? Which of the graphs represented did you find the most helpful and easiest to read? Which of the graphs is used to compare parts of data to a whole and is represented by percentages? How does a histogram graph data?
