Student’s Book page 45 6 Find out how many glasses of water you and someone in your family drink each day for a week. Make a bar chart. •
Say
Do you and your family drink enough water? Who in the class drinks the most water? Let’s find out. Make
sure students have the charts they used to record their
family’s water consumption (see
Home–school link in
the Extra activities for TB44 on page TB

).
•
Point to the bar chart and remind students of the name
of this kind of diagram. Use the key at the top to make
sure students understand the use of the green and red
bars and elicit that the numbers on the y axis are the
total number of glasses of water. Ask students questions
about the chart, e.g.,
How many glasses of water did the sister drink on Tuesday? •
Say
Now make a bar chart about you and someone in your family. Students draw an adapted bar chart for their
own family, using the information from the survey they
carried out at home. Circulate and help as necessary.
Ask, e.g.,
How many glasses of water did your dad drink? Who drank more water, you or your dad? •
Students can compare their bar charts in pairs or small
groups. Find out which student’s family drank the most
water in total.
•
Tell students to write some sentences explaining the
data in the bar chart, e.g.,
My brother drank more water than me last week. He drank 55 glasses of water, but I only drank 38 glasses. I drank more water than him on Monday, but he drank more on Tuesday. On Wednesday we both drank 7 glasses of water. Workbook page 37 – Evaluation
