Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Comparing Representations of Data. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Compare two different representations of the same data.
Different situations call for different types of graphs. The way data are displayed is often dependent upon what someone is trying to communicate.
Tables or charts organize the exact data and display numerical information. They do not show visual comparisons, which generally means it takes longer to understand or to examine trends.
Line graphs display data that changes continuously over time. This allows overall increases or decreases to be seen more readily.
Bar graphs can be used to compare data easily and see relationships. They provide a visual display comparing the numerical values of different categories. The scale of a bar graph may affect how one perceives the data.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game you will need to decide if a bar graph or a line graph is a better fit for a set of data in order to determine who should be hired - what are some strategies you can use to decide which type of graph is a better fit? How can you determine if a graph is aligned with its given set of data? How could you use a graph to show the colors of student shirts in our class?

After the Game

How were you able to tell which item was the most common on the bar graph? Which graph did you think was easier to read? How were you able to decide whether a bar graph or a line graph was a better way to represent the given data? In this game, line graphs were used to show a progression over time - what topic can you think of that could be used to show the data in a line graph?
