Graphs

This is a great site for creating graphs.  One of the parents in my room cleaned out her Beanie Baby collection.  Each child got a stuffed creature to take home.  Before they got packed into backpacks, we decided to make a graph based on the animals' groups (mammal, amphibian, reptile, insect, bird and fish).  We used this online graph site to make a bar graph and then a pie graph using the data.
