MATH SURVEY AND GRAPHING PROJECT
1. Come up with a question to use in your survey. Remember, your question
should have four or five possible response choices. Example: What is your
favorite fast food restaurant? Answer choices might be Burger King,
McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc.
2. Survey 25 - 50 people (students). Tally the results on the sheet that you
previously made containing the response choices.
3. Make a tally chart and a data table displaying your survey results.
4. Graph your results using these two types of graphs:
 Bar graph
 Pictograph graph
5. You will also need to use a computer to make an extra graph of your data. You
may use your home computer to make this extra graph, if you wish to do so. If
you don't have that computer capability at home, please see me about finding
time at school to complete these.
6. Use a poster board to glue your graphs and charts to for your finished project.
GRADING CRITERIA
1. Graph title—The title is NOT the question.
2. Question—Should be at the top of the tally chart and data table.
3. Graph—Don't forget the title and any sub labels that are required on certain
graphs, like bar graphs.
4. Neatness and organization.
5. Turned in on time.
