Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is a bar graph? What can you learn from a bar graph? Why are bar graphs a good way to organize data for certain topics? Is it always important to look at the key to understand how much each object in the graph represents?

After the Game

Did you find it easy to compare the numbers of items on the bar/pictograph in this game? Do you like this style of graph and organizing data? What type of data might be best to show on a data or bar graph? When a crate holds 3 apples and there are 4 crates, how many apples do you have? If there are 3 apple crates and 5 banana crates, how many more banana crates are there? When each crate contains 4, if there are 2 lime crates and 5 pear crates, how many less limes are there than pears?
