The Bar Graph Song

Let's kick off our first lesson on bar graphs with a song to help us understand a little better!

Video Introduction

To jump into bar graphs, I have made a video of myself for you and your students, of me introducing the topic and explaining the important features and structures to know and remember!

Finishing Up

To wrap up today's lesson, talk over your bar graph with your student, and see if they can come up with roughly 5 things that their graph tells them. For example, one thing that their graph could tell them is which season Abigail's classmates like the least!
