Objectives:

Grade Level 7-8
1- Use of tables, graphs, and diagrams to obtain information.
2- Construction of tables, graphs, and diagrams to collect data.

Material:

Mimeographed papers containing graphs, tables, and diagrams.
 
Strategy:

Presenting a drawing to the class, students will have the opportunity to observe
and study how certain data could be obtained by reading tables, or graphs.  (bar
graphs and line graphs)  
    
Providing a real situation students will construct their own tables and graphs 
containing the correct information. 

Making use of Venn Diagrams the teacher will lead the student to read them and 
then make their own to solve any given problem.
