Hold a favorite color election then construct graphs to present data.
1.
Find out when different groups (such as women, Native Americans, African Americans) won the right to vote in the United States and in the state where you live. How old must you be to vote? Who may not vote in government elections? When are national and local primaries and elections held?
2.
Agree on a standard set of colors for a color survey, such as the hues in boxes of 8 or 16 Crayola® Crayons. Make sure each of you has a box.
3.
Write the name of each color to be surveyed on an index card using its crayon.
4.
Take part in a whole class favorite color survey. Arrange index cards in a column on the open floor. Vote for favorite colors by placing the crayon boxes on the floor beside the appropriate index card. Carefully space the crayon boxes evenly so quantities can be compared. Discuss the results of the survey.
5.
Record voting results on a chalkboard with Crayola Chalkboard Chalk.
6.
Make a pictograph of the voting data using crayons on white paper. Write color names in a column to the left. Draw crayons to the right of each row to show survey results. Space the drawn crayons evenly so they line up vertically and horizontally.
