IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day 1)
Good morning! This week we are going to study Interpreting Data Presented in Single/Double Vertical and
horizontal Bar Graph with Problem Solving. There are basic steps to follow given in the discussion below.

A bar graph has two axes, the

horizontal axis and the vertical
axis with labels, title, and scale.
The vertical axis is the group data,
while the horizontal axis is the
frequency data. Bar graphs may
be horizontal or vertical.
On the figures at the right, which
do you think is the horizontal bar
graph? the vertical bar graph?
Can you identify each part? A B
To interpret a graph:
Step 1: Understand the story behind the data presented in the graph.
Step 2: Make a thorough analysis of the data presented.
Step 3: Use the data in the graph to answer questions, it is easier to
interpret a bar graph if you are guided with some specific questions.
Step 4: Read the title.
Step 5: Read and understand the labels
Example:
Study the following questions about the single bar graphs at the right.
1. What is the title of the bar graphs? (Our Favorite Games)
2. In the vertical bar graph, what information is placed along the
horizontal axis? (Games) Vertical axis? (Number of Pupils)
3. In the horizontal bar graph, what information is placed along the
horizontal axis? (Numbers of Pupils) Vertical axis? (Games)
4. What sport is the favorite of most pupils? (Basketball)
5. How many pupils like softball? (6 pupils)
6. What sport is the second choice? (Volleyball)
7. How many more pupils like basketball than soccer? (4 more pupils)
8. What is the total number of pupils who like soccer, softball, and
basketball? (26 pupils)

Bar graphs can also be used to compare data that can be

counted. A double bar graph can be used to compare two sets of
data normally presented in different colors one from the other. A
legend is placed at the bottom of the graph to help us see what
each color means for easy interpretation of data.
Look at the different parts of a double horizontal bar graph on the
figure at the right.
In Solving Routine Problems using graphs, these are the things to remember:
Let’s take the example below.
In the graph, what is the total electric consumption from
December to March?
Step 1: Understand
What is asked in the problem?
It is asking for the total electric consumption from December to
March
What are the given numbers?
Looking at the data presented, December consumed 25
kilowatts of electricity, January consumed 20 kilowatts of
electricity, February consumed 30 kilowatts of electricity, and
March consumed 45 kilowatts of electricity.
Step 2: Plan
What operation will you use?
Addition
You will add up the number of kilowatts from December to
March
What is the mathematical sentence?
25 + 20 + 30 + 45 = N
Step 3: Solve
What is the answer to the problem?
How can we solve the problem?
25 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of December
+ 20 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of January
30 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of February
45 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of March
120 kilowatts is the total electric consumption from December to March
Step 4: Look Back (The reverse operation of addition is subtraction)
How can we check that our answer is correct?
120 kilowatts is the total electric consumption
25 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of December
- 20 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of January
30 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of February
45 kilowatts of electricity consumed in the month of March
0 zero consumption

Non-routine problems are problems that can be solved even without following the steps.

D. Development (Time Frame: Day 2)

According to what we have started in our lesson, can you now interpret and solve graphs. Let us see, answer the
following tasks
Learning Task 1: Read and understand the data in the bar graph. Write the letter of the correct answer.

1. Which is the most sold item in Store B?

A. Television B. Blender C. Coffee Maker D. Radio
2. How many items is sold in Store B?
A. 19 B. 21 C. 23 D. 25
3. The number of blenders sold in Store A is
A. 10 B. 9 C. 8 D. 7
4. What is the total number of appliances sold in store A
and store B?
A. 73 B. 61 C. 57 D. 49
Learning Task 2: Solve the given problem using the graph on
the right.

How many rubber shoes in all were sold for the month of June?
1. What is asked?
2. What operation will you use?
3. Give the complete answer.

E. Engagement (Time Frame: Day 3)

Let us add more information to interprets graph and solve problem.
Let us have more exercises.
Learning Task 3: Read and interpret the graph. Answer the questions that follow on your paper.

Learning Task 4: Use the graph in the Learning Task 3 to answer the following.
A. How many English and Math books are in all for year 2013 -2014?
1.What is asked?
2. What operation will you use?
3. What is the complete answer?

A. Assimilation (Time Line: Day 4)

Let’s answer the following

Learning Task 5: Using the graph below, answer the questions that follow. Use your answer sheet.
. Learning Task 6: Using the vertical and horizontal graph interpret the data. Write your answer on your paper.

Questions:
1. What is the title of the horizontal and vertical graph?
2. How many books are borrowed in August?
3. How many Boy Scouts are there in five schools?
V. ASSESSMENT (Time Frame: Day 5_)
Learning Task 7: Interprets the data in the graph and solve it.

VI. REFLECTION (Time Frame: Day 5_)

• Communicate your personal assessment as indicated in the Learner’s Assessment Card.
Personal Assessment on Learner’s Level of Performance
Using the symbols below, choose one which best describes your experience in working on each given
task. Draw it in the column for Level of Performance (LP). Be guided by the descriptions below:
 - I was able to do/perform the task without any difficulty. The task helped me in understanding the target
content/ lesson.
✓ - I was able to do/perform the task. It was quite challenging, but it still helped me in understanding the target
content/lesson.
? – I was not able to do/perform the task. It was extremely difficult. I need additional enrichment activities to
be able to do/perform this task.
