• Draw each of the graphs.

Key Terms:

• Case study

• Observational study

• Pie charts

• Line graphs

• frequency polygon

Application Task:

Option 1: Task

Option 2: Graphs

• Interview 5 students and ask the following: Which month are you born in? Then draw a bar graph with your data.

• Interview 5 students and ask the following: How many months old are you? Then draw a histogram with your data.

• Using your data from your bar chart, construct a pie chart.

Then draw a line graph with your data.

• Using the making sense of the data resource, define and draw an example of each one into your books.
