WELCOME TO GRADE 4!! EXPLORE THE SUBJECT TABS TO DISCOVER WHAT YOU ARE LEARNING THIS YEAR!!
In this unit you will be reading, comparing and drawing different kinds of graphs.
This lesson is about reading pictographs and bar graphs. You will find out that all graphs need TITLES.
In a PICTOGRAPH symbols are used to show data. A KEY is also needed to show what each symbol represents.
In a BAR GRAPH, bars are used to show data. The numbers show the SCALE. A SCALE is chosen so the size of the graph is manageable. BAR GRAPHS can be VERTICAL where the bars are drawn upward or HORIZONTAL where the bars are drawn across.
Watch the video below that explains pictograph and bar graphs and how to read them.
Go to Google Classroom and complete the assignment called, Lesson 1: "Reading Pictographs and Bar Graphs" in the Classwork section under the Math: Statistics and Probability Unit.
Turn in the assignment for grading.
For extra practice work on learning about graphs, go to IXL Math Grade 4 Data and Graphs Section and work on the following: L.4 and L.5.
In Lesson 1 you learned how to read pictographs and bar graphs.
In this lesson you will be learning how to draw your own pictographs.
Drawing a pictograph usually starts with a question from which you can collect information or data. A symbol is chosen that represents the data collected. To make sure that your pictograph isn't too large, you may want your symbol to represent 5 or 10 of what your graph is representing.
Remember that a complete pictograph needs the following: title, vertical axis label, and a key.
Watch the video below that explains how to draw a pictograph.

For extra practice work on learning about graphs, go to IXL Math Grade 4 Data and Graphs Section and work on the following: L.4 and L.5.
In the last lesson we learned how to draw pictographs when given a table of data. We learned how to create a key that showed how one picture or symbol could represent more than one.
In this lesson we will be using Data from tables to create bar graphs and choosing suitable scales for the graphs so they are aren't too big.
Each bar graph must have the following: Title, vertical axis label, horizontal axis label, a suitable scale that fits the data collected.
Make sure you watch the video below that explains step by step how to draw a bar graph.
Go to Google Classroom and complete the assignment called, Lesson 3: "Drawing Bar Graphs" in the Classwork section under the Math: Statistics and Probability Unit.

For extra practice work on learning about graphs, go to IXL Math Grade 4 Data and Graphs Section and work on the following: L.4 and L.5.
In the last 3 lessons we have been learning how to read and how to draw pictographs and bar graphs.
In this lesson we will be comparing pictographs and bar graphs to see how the graphs are the same and how they are different.
You are also going to discover that it is usually easier to estimate the number from a bar graph by using the scale. A pictograph has more impact because it is visually appealing. In a pictograph, the key is used to help estimate numbers.
Watch the video below that demonstrates how to compare bar graphs and pictographs.
