Detective, you already know how to read tally charts, pictograms, and bar charts. Now it's time for your biggest mission yet: turning data into a real Word document that other people can read!
Your mission has 3 parts:
Every Friday, Ms. Rose's class votes for their favourite fruit at snack time. This week, she asked all 25 children in her class to choose just one fruit each.
She wrote down every vote on the board, one at a time. When she finished counting, she found the totals below:
| Fruit | Number of Votes |
|---|---|
| 🍎 Apple | 8 |
| 🍌 Banana | 5 |
| 🍊 Orange | 3 |
| 🍇 Grape | 9 |
Ms. Rose said, "Now that we have this data, let's find a way to present it clearly — so anyone who looks at it can understand our class's favourite fruit right away."
Read this passage carefully — you will need to remember these numbers for the next step and for your report!
1. How many children are in Ms. Rose's class?
2. Which fruit got the MOST votes?
3. How many votes did Banana get?
Great reading! Now open Microsoft Word and follow these steps to present the fruit survey data.
Tick each box after you finish that part in your Word document.
Amazing work, Detective! You read the data carefully, checked your understanding, and built a real Word document to present it.
