Check Out Those Wheels!

How many red cars are in our school parking lot? How many people buy cars with two doors versus four doors? Do teachers prefer cars over trucks? Are vans still really popular?
By completing this assignment we will have a pretty clear idea of what vehicles are popular with the staff at our school! There are three parts to this assignment.

1. Surveys: Surveying the parking lot. We will be adding up all the vehicles that fit into
   different categories.
2. Graphs: Taking the results and creating bar graphs and pie charts.
3. Postings: Posting the Essential Skills required for this assignment on the classroom wall
   as part of our ongoing “Essential Skills for Success WALL OF FAME”

Surveys

We are adding up vehicles that are in the following categories:
(See Survey Form)

• colour (list all colours you believe will be in the parking lot)
  
• 2-door versus 4-door
• type of vehicle
  • car
  • sport utility
  • truck
  • minivan
  • motorcycle

Graphing

Once we have the results, we will be graphing as follows:

• Colour (Bar Graph)
• 2-door/versus 4-door (Pie Chart)
• Type of Vehicle (Bar Graph or Pie Chart)
