Bar Chart

I search the Virtual Manipulatives site to try to find something my students could use.

It is difficult to find appropriate games to fit their needs and skills.


I came across the bar chart. This was a nice tool to use as a group.

We discussed how everyone gets to school: bus, walk, or car.

Together we create a bar chart: (see below)

This tool is nice because as a teacher or class you can decide how many columns or rows you will need to create your chart. You give your title a name and label your columns. This a great way to introduce making graphs and collecting data.
