4.MD.4

Display and interpret data in graphs (picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots) to solve problems using numbers and operations for this grade.

Lesson 4.MD.4

Concepts addressed:

• Display data in graphs (picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots) to solve problems using numbers and operations for this grade.

• Interpret data in graphs (picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots) to solve problems using numbers and operations for this grade.

• Understand each of the types of graphs (i.e uses of the graphs, when to use each type, pros and cons of the graphs, etc)

Key Terms for this lesson:

• Picture graphs (pictographs) - graphs that use pictures or symbols to represent data points(one picture or symbol may represent more than one number, check the legend/key)

• Bar graphs - graphs that use bars to represent numbers or data points (usually have an x-axis and y-axis)

• Line graphs - a graph that shows the trend of data using a line (normally, the x-axis represents time and the y-axis is something else)

• Line plots - a graph that uses x's (or some other symbol) to represent data points (just like the pictograph could represent more than one data point, the line plot can too)
