Graphing Story Problems

This book ably makes the connection between data and the stories behind it. After identifying and explaining various kinds of graphs, such as a bar graph, pictograph, and line graph, tangible examples are provided. Using the number of different-colored beads in a box, miles covered by a walking club, and fish left at a pet store, readers will learn how to turn information into graphs and how to draw conclusions from them. Bright cartoon illustrations add appeal. Includes graphing activities, a glossary, recommendations for further reading, and an index.
