Math POW - due Fri. Nov. 4th


Having made it safely back home from trick or treating, it's now time to check out your haul. You are to find the top 5 types of candy that you have collected. To aid you in this venture create a tally chart to record the tasty items. After having recorded tallies, it is now time to display them on a bar graph. Be sure to title your graph and label your axes. No need to worry, you don't have to record the rocks. Happy Hallowe'en!
