I learned that 25% of students would talk to friends.its not fair because there were only 16 7th graders but 19 took the survey.
ReplyDeletenot all grafts are correct because not every student fills out the right thing.radson
ReplyDelete35% in 4th-8th grade like to play school sports then talk on the phone.And only 25% like to visit with friends.And 85% of kids took the serve-a.
ReplyDeletea graph means the percentage of the meaning of a number of something your working on !! joey
ReplyDelete17 kids choose playing sports.17 kids is 35% of the kids that took this survey..(graph A)and yes it is far because every student choose what they wanted...
ReplyDeleteLonny
there are only 16 kids in 7th grade,and 2 are missing from 8th grade
ReplyDeleteThere are only sixteen students in 7th grade,and there are two missing from 8th grade. Two 8th graders clicked 7th grade on their surveys. My teacher told me there are only sixteen 7th graders.No it is not this imformation proves that.
ReplyDeletefor the gRade you can take out how many you mist out of how many question ther were!!!!! joey
ReplyDeleteWhen joey said, "a graph means the percentage of the meaning of a number of something your working on !!" I at first was confused. But then I looked at the graph. Twelve people like to visit with friends after school. The number 12 is 25% of all the students who completed the survey, so the graph is showing "the percentage of the meaning of a number" -- the graph shows the number 12 (students who like visiting with friends after school) and tells us the meaning of that 12 students is a percentage: 25%. Does that make sense now? It helps me. SRE
ReplyDeleteGraph B -ERSA-
ReplyDeleteSometimes people choose the wrong things so our information might not be acurate.
The 7th graders have 19 people in their class,which is 40 percent.

ReplyDeletedo things but most of the people play sports. Fn + F12 gets the calculater on the I mac.

Rista graph A and B
ReplyDeleteI think the kids get mixed up because there aren't 19 7th graders.
Almost all of the 5-8th graders like playing sports after school
Ania Graph A!
ReplyDelete1. I learned how to do percentages and What they mean.
2. I learned that you have to multiply by 100.
Example: 12/48x100=25%
Ania Graph B!
Survey's aren't always correct. There could be a mistake that makes them incorrect.The grpah says there are 19 7th graders when there really isn't.

ReplyDeleteGraph A,
17 kids like to play sports after school. You can get the percent by dividing and multiply.
EXAMPLE-17/48x100=35%.
Graph B,
Surveys aren't always corrected. And sometimes you make mistakes on a graph. We have 12 kids in 5th grade
Quill graph A:
ReplyDeletein 5th-8th grade 17 students like playing sports after school
__________________________________________________Graph B:in 5th-8th graders 25% of students are 5th grade.

ReplyDelete19% of the people will (would) go earn money after
school. And 15% of people want to play on the computer.
Jane graph a
ReplyDeletei learned about what percents are like one hundred
pennies is one hundred percent of $1.00
1 penny is 1% of $1.00
Jane graph b
surveys are not always right there are not 19 seventh graders
Only 17 people are active,12 people visit friends,9 people earn money,7 people use computers,3 people talk on the phone.So that means not all of the students are active.

ReplyDeleteCOMPARE:The left chart has more people that like
(35%)
sports than the right one.(NYC)(18%)
FAIR:They both have good facts and they both got 35% and they also got a good readable chart.
