1.Read the poem
“A
Hairy Situation”.
2. Explain that we will
be gathering information (the number of students with each hair color) and
compiling that data into a bar graph.
3.Begin by counting the
number of students with brown hair. Record the number on the board and have
the students record the number on the first handout beside the blank for the
color brown. Repeat this step for all of the hair colors.
4. Demonstrate on the
board how to color in the appropriate number of blocks for the color brown.
Have the students complete the remaining hair colors for themselves.
5. Review that the
students have collected and organized data.
