Workout Votes

Workout Votes Worksheet

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on participants at a fitness club who voted for their favorite types of workouts, with data divided by gender-men and women. Students are instructed to create a double bar graph using the provided data, which includes the number of votes for different workout types such as yoga, weightlifting, cardio, Pilates, and HIIT. After constructing the graph, students will answer questions that require them to analyze the data, such as identifying which workout was most popular among women, the total number of participants who voted for weightlifting, and which workout had the most balanced votes between men and women. This activity combines graph creation with data interpretation, helping students to visually compare preferences and understand trends in fitness choices.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to 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 workout preferences between the two groups. The questions that follow encourage critical thinking as students analyze the graph to answer specific queries, such as determining popularity and balance in preferences. Additionally, this exercise reinforces essential math skills such as counting, comparing numbers, and making inferences based on data, all within the context of a relevant and engaging topic—workout preferences.
