Vocabulary:
Data - information you collect.
Line plot - uses dots or Xs above a number line to show data.
Bar graph - uses bars to show data.
Symbol - a picture or character that stands for something.

Players create a graph (with no data). Each player takes a turn flipping over a card to represent the data in a category and graph it. Once the graph is complete, players take turns asking questions about the graph. A point is earned for each correct answer. The player with the most points after 6 questions wins.
