The topic  appears under the 6th Grade Math Mission. This exercise introduces practice with creating a bar chart from raw information.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:

Strategies
An ability to count and visually compare data can be an advantage but is not completely necessary for this problem. Counting is all that is vitally necessary.


 * 1) A mouse may be easier to use than a touchpad for this exercise.
 * 2) The bar chart does not always appear with all the gridlines so it is important to note that there are "half" markers that are used.
