This worksheet is an activity that requires you to go out and look at real clothes to collect data. Since I cannot see the clothes in your house, I cannot give you the specific numbers for the final chart. However, I can explain exactly how to do the assignment so you can finish it correctly.
Here is the step-by-step guide to solving this problem:
Step 1: The Count (Part 1)
1. Go to a closet or a drawer where clothes are kept.
2. Look for items that are
Red,
Blue, or
Green.
3. Count how many red items you find. Write that number in the box under "Red."
4. Count how many blue items you find. Write that number in the box under "Blue."
5. Count how many green items you find. Write that number in the box under "Green."
*Tip: If you don't have any green shirts, write "0".*
Step 2: The Pictograph (Part 2)
The rule for this chart is:
1 square = 5 items.
To fill in the bottom chart, you need to turn your counts from Step 1 into squares.
*
If you found 5 items: Color in
1 full square.
*
If you found 10 items: Color in
2 full squares.
*
If you found 15 items: Color in
3 full squares.
What if the number isn't exactly 5, 10, or 15?
*
Less than 5: If you found 1, 2, 3, or 4 items, leave the row blank (or ask your teacher if you should draw a partial square, but usually, you just leave it blank in simple graphs).
*
In-between numbers: If you found 6 items, that is one group of 5 plus 1 extra. You would color
1 full square. The extra 1 is usually too small to count as a whole square in this type of graph.
Example Calculation:
Imagine you looked in your closet and found:
*
Red: 5 shirts
*
Blue: 10 shirts
*
Green: 2 shirts
Here is how you would fill out the bottom chart:
*
Red Row: Color
1 square (because 5 equals one square).
*
Blue Row: Color
2 squares (because 10 is two groups of 5).
*
Green Row: Leave it
blank (because 2 is less than 5).
Final Answer:
[This task requires personal observation of your own clothing. Please follow the steps above to count your items and color the corresponding number of squares on your worksheet.]
