Lesson 11

Class Pet Surveys

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to write and evaluate statements based on data in a visual representation.

Lesson Narrative

In a previous lesson, students created representations of survey data collected from their class. In this lesson, students interpret data represented with tally marks to consider whether statements about the data are true or false. Students then write their own statements about a different set of data, also represented with tally marks.
