Data Handling - Healthy Habits

Today we learnt how to create a survey and make our own bar graphs. We choose topics from our healthy habits unit. Questions included: What is your favourite type of exercise, Choose a way that you like to keep calm and Which of these choices would you like for breakfast.
We made a survey of our choices and then asked people in the class to pick which one they liked. We used Tally marks to calculate their responses.
Finally we made a bar graph of our results.
