DATA RELATIONSHIPS
Suggestions for Teaching and Learning
Students will be expected to:
Statistics and Probability
5SP2 Construct and interpret 
double bar graphs to draw 
conclusions. 
[C, PS, R, T, V]
Students worked with bar graphs in Grade 3 and Grade 4. They 
constructed, labelled and interpreted graphs to solve problems. This 
will now be extended to include double bar graphs.
A double bar graph is best used to show how two sets of data are 
different or alike. Using a legend helps the reader interpret the data 
displayed. Students should analyze double bar graphs on which data 
is displayed horizontally as well as others on which data is displayed 
vertically.
Ask students to compare a set of double bar graphs, such as the one
below displaying data collected from six students.
Ask students questions such as:
• Who has the most sisters? brothers? siblings?
• How many more sisters does Student C have than Student E?
• Which students have the same number of brothers?
