Class Topics: 08.27.14

In Common Core Math Six today, Mr. Giomini reviewed last night's Evening Practice with the students. Lesson 1.4: Bar Graphs and Histograms was introduced to the students.  Mr. Giomini focused on histograms since students have been making bar graphs with some type of food since 1st grade.

A histogram is a type of bar graph that shows the frequency of data within equal intervals.  You will notice in the illustration below that there are no spaces between the bars in a histogram.  The intervals along the x-axis are arranged in a similar fashion to the intervals in a cumulative frequency table.
