M2.7.7 For the adult
Your own survey
I asked my friends a question. What do I do with their answers?
What this chapter teaches
A survey asks one question with clear choices, tallies the answers and checks that the counts add up to the number asked. Bars or pictures suit choices, and a line suits change over time. Write only what the chart shows.
Three questions to ask
There is no one right wording. Listen for the idea.
- What question would you ask your friends, and what choices would you give?
- How do you check that your counts are right?
- Which chart would you use for your answers, and why?
After the chapter, the learner can
- Ask a question, collect data and choose a chart to show it
- Write two true sentences about what a chart shows
What they copy into their notebook
Ask one question with clear choices. Tally the answers. Check the counts add up to the people asked. Pick the chart by the data. Bars fit choices. A line fits time. Write only what the chart shows.
