Understanding Scale Increments and Graphs

What is the main purpose of this lesson?

• To determine scale increments for a bar graph

• To learn how to bake cupcakes

• To calculate the area of a rectangle

• To understand how to draw a pie chart

Which of the following is NOT a component of a bar graph?

• A scale

• A title

• Vertical and horizontal lines

• A pie chart

What is a common misconception about scale increments?

• They can only count in increments of one

• They can count in any increment

• They must always be even numbers

• They should always be less than 10

If a scale counts in increments of 5, how many numbers would be on the scale for a range of 0 to 20?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 7

Why might increments of 2 be a better choice than increments of 5 for a certain data set?

• Because it is a more common increment

• Because it is easier to count by twos

• Because it allows for clearer representation of smaller numbers

• Because it uses fewer numbers on the scale

What is the ideal number of numbers on a scale for easy readability?

• 21 to 30

• 13 to 20

• 5 to 12

• 1 to 4

Why is a scale increment of 10 suitable for Mrs. Davidson's cupcake order?

• It is the most common increment

• It is the smallest possible increment

• It clearly represents all the data points

• It allows for fewer numbers on the scale

Which number is not clearly represented when counting by tens?

• 30

• 20

• 25

• 40

What is the benefit of using benchmark numbers for scale increments?

• They are easier to remember

• They make the graph look more colorful

• They help in clear representation of data

• They reduce the number of bars needed

How many numbers would be on a scale counting by tens up to 60?

• 8

• 5

• 6

• 7
