Teachers, save “Data Collection and Tally Table- Candy E…” to assign it to your class.

Collecting information about people, places and things can be really interesting. How we organize the information we collect is very important also! There are some simple things that need to happen before you can make a graph about information. First, you must decide on a question you would like to ask. Some questions are better for making graphs than others. A question that only has one answer (like a "yes" or "no" question) wont make a very interesting graph or tell you very much information. Your question should give people choices. You should be able to gather data and then think about what it is telling you. Check out the example about sports.
