Yes or No?

We have been learning about all sorts of graphs in math. Bar graphs, pictographs, and even pie charts! We decided to make our own graphs based off of a yes/no question. Each student was responsible for creating their own question and their own graph. We then had each student turn into a scientist to collect their data for their graph. They had all the participants names on a clip board and they had to walk around and ask each student their own yes/no question. We came up with some really good questions too! Here are just a few:
Are you having a good day?
Do you have a pet?
Do you like Scooby Doo?
Do you like pizza?
Is your favorite color blue?
After we surveyed every student we had to create our own bar graphs to show our work. We all worked really well and everyone completed their charts! We learned a lot about each other and after voting we decided that, yes, this was a fun activity! Here's to math!
