Students will interpret and manipulate data from a bar graph and combine data in given sets. In addition, they will examine a graph for accuracy and give an argument for why the given graph is correct or incorrect. Students will be given a new data set and will be asked to organize the data and accurately draw a scaled bar graph. Then, students will write a paragraph to explain their graph.
