http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L536
A lesson plan for grades 3–5 Mathematics
Students create pictographs and answer questions about the data set. Illuminations provides detailed instructions for completing the lesson.
Students will:

- Answer questions about the data set from the representations.
NCTM Standards and Expectations:
- Represent data using tables and graphs such as line plots, bar graphs, and line graphs.
- Compare different representations of the same data and evaluate how well each representation shows important aspects of the data.
