In this lesson, one of a six-part unit from Illuminations titled “Look at Me,” students demonstrate what they have learned about data representation. Students create pictographs and bar graphs based on data collected, including the ages of classmates, cats owned, and number of teeth missing. Students then create a glyph in the form of a face.
