Requirements -
1. Students will be assigned the topic they must graph. They must choose the type of graph that is appropriate for the topic they are given. Each graph must include at least TEN different variables. For example, if you are graphing the number of pencils you use each month, you must graph ten months.
The types of graphs are:
Line - variables over time
Circle - data as percentages of a whole
Bar - represent and compare data
2. A data chart also needs to be included with each graph.
3. A paragraph about the conclusion(s) drawn from the graph must be included. What can you extrapolate and interpolate from the graph that you have created?
Rubric - What is your grade based upon?
1 - Creativity counts! A cool topic and bright colors will make a much more interesting graph (10 points)
2- Correct choice of graph type for representation of your data (10 points)
3- All elements of the graph present (title, axis labels, key, data table, bibliography if necessary) (30 points)
4 - Variables - are at least ten present? (10 points)
5 - Conclusion - You must include what you have learned about your data from graphing it. This does not mean restating the numbers you have already shown in your graph, it means you must explain what the graph is showing us (30 points)
6 - Presentation - did you describe your data and graph well (10 points)
