Coffee Craze

Worksheet Description
This worksheet revolves around customers at a coffee shop who voted for their favorite types of coffee, with the data divided by gender—men and women. Students are asked to create a double bar graph using the provided data, which includes the number of votes for espresso, latte, cappuccino, Americano, and mocha. After constructing the graph, students will answer questions that require them to analyze the data, such as identifying the most popular coffee type among men, the total number of customers who voted for lattes, and which coffee type had a similar number of votes from both men and women. This activity combines graph creation with data interpretation, allowing students to visually compare coffee preferences.
The worksheet is designed to teach students how to accurately construct and interpret double bar graphs, focusing on comparing two related data sets. By plotting the number of votes from men and women side by side, students can easily identify patterns and differences in coffee preferences between the two groups. The questions that follow encourage critical thinking, requiring students to analyze the graph to answer specific questions and draw meaningful conclusions. Additionally, this exercise reinforces essential math skills such as counting, comparing numbers, and understanding the significance of data representation, all within the context of an engaging and relatable topic—favorite coffee choices.
