  • Determine the data needed to answer a posed question and collect the data using various methods (e.g., voting, lists, tables, charts, tallying).
  • Organize and represent a data set using a pictograph where each symbol represents up to 2 data points. Determine and use a key to assist in the analysis.

  • Analyze data represented in pictographs and bar graphs and communicate results by asking and answering questions about the data.
  • Draw conclusions about the data and make predictions based on the data represented in pictographs and bar graphs.
