Students pair up to select and discuss a graph, leading to questions about its purpose and subject. They study the graphs, noting their features and using examples for reference. The students then create their own graphs, deciding on columns, scales, and collecting data accordingly. The concept of data manipulation to fit graphs and its real-world consequences are explored. The students also delve into the selection of a favourite sport and limited options. Finally, they conduct surveys to gather data for their graphs.
