Creating Bar Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to collect and organize data on student transportation methods using a table. It then demonstrates how to represent this data visually by creating a bar graph. The process involves counting students who use different modes of transportation and coloring squares on a grid to form bars, each representing a category. The lesson concludes with a summary of how to draw a simple bar graph.
