Lunch Vote

Lunch Vote Worksheet

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around employees at a company voting for their favorite lunch options, with 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 pizza, salad, sandwiches, sushi, and tacos. After constructing the graph, students will answer questions that require them to analyze the data, such as identifying which lunch option was most popular among men and which option had the smallest difference in votes between men and women. This activity combines both graph creation and data interpretation, making it a comprehensive exercise in data visualization.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to construct and interpret double bar graphs, reinforcing their ability to visually compare two sets of related data. By plotting the number of votes from men and women side by side, students learn to identify patterns, trends, and differences between the two groups. The accompanying questions encourage critical thinking, as students must analyze the graph to answer specific questions about the data. This exercise also helps students practice basic arithmetic skills, such as counting and comparing numbers, all within the context of a real-world scenario.
