Cuisine Choices

Worksheet Description
This worksheet revolves around participants in a cooking class who voted for their favorite cuisines, with the data divided by gender—men and women. Students are tasked with creating a double bar graph using the provided data, which includes the number of votes for Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, and French cuisines. After constructing the graph, students will answer questions that require them to analyze the data, such as identifying the most popular cuisine among women, the total number of participants who voted for Chinese cuisine, and which cuisine was more popular among men than among women. This activity combines graph creation with data interpretation, helping students visually compare culinary preferences.
The worksheet aims to teach students how to accurately construct and interpret double bar graphs, with a focus 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 cuisine preferences between the two groups. The questions that follow encourage critical thinking, requiring students to analyze the graph to answer specific queries 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 cuisines.
