This lesson focuses on organizing and analyzing categorical data through a practical snack survey conducted by a student named Zoey. Students will learn how to transform raw data from the survey into a tally chart and frequency table. They will count responses for different snack categories including Apple, Cookie, Carrot, Pretzel, and Yogurt. The lesson also includes analytical questions that encourage students to compare the totals of each snack category and evaluate the results. An additional challenge question prompts students to consider how a change in responses (adding more surveys) would affect their findings. This exercise aims to enhance students' data organization and analytical skills, reinforcing their understanding of tally marks and frequency counting.
