🎯 What You'll Learn

Learning Objectives

1

Create a simple bar graph using collected data

2

Interpret scaled graphs with accuracy

3

Demonstrate careful data collection and organization

📖 Scripture Connection

Proverbs 16:16

“How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.”

— Proverbs 16:16 (WEB)

Just as we carefully collect and organize data in math, we can carefully collect and organize wisdom in our lives
