✓ I can make a tally chart and dot plot

✓ I can describe what my data shows

📊 Part 1: Recording My Heart Rate Data

1. Before the run - Count your heart beats for 15 seconds, then multiply by 4:

Heart beats in 15 seconds: _______ × 4 = _______ beats per minute

2. After the run - Count your heart beats for 15 seconds, then multiply by 4:

Heart beats in 15 seconds: _______ × 4 = _______ beats per minute

3. Create a tally chart for your class data. Ask 8 classmates for their heart rates:

Heart Rates BEFORE Exercise:

60-70 beats: ________________

71-80 beats: ________________

81-90 beats: ________________

91-100 beats: ________________

Over 100 beats: ________________

Heart Rates AFTER Exercise:

80-90 beats: ________________

91-100 beats: ________________

101-110 beats: ________________

111-120 beats: ________________

Over 120 beats: ________________

📈 Part 2: Making Dot Plots

4. Create a dot plot for heart rates BEFORE exercise:

Put one dot above each range for every person:









           60-70 _____ 71-80 _____ 81-90 _____ 91-100 _____ Over 100 _____

5. Create a dot plot for heart rates AFTER exercise:

Put one dot above each range for every person:








 

         80-90 _____ 91-100 _____ 101-110 _____ 111-120 _____ Over 120 _____
