Multiple Choice Graphing


Up until now we've been asking questions with two choices--Would you rather do this OR this?  Would you rather have this or that?  Today we made graphs where survey respondants were given more than one choice-- which is your favorite color:  red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple?  The conclusions drawn from these graphs include many more possibilities-- for example, more people like red than yellow, but fewer people like red than blue.  After modelling this for students and creating one together, we continued with our graphing workshop and those who were ready to start a new graph created one with multiple choices.
