Count the votes
Each dot represents one response for its fruit.
Survey Graph Studio
Turn fruit survey counts into truthful bar graphs with adjustable votes per grid step.
Grades 2–5 · Statistics
Your goal
Build truthful bars for the survey using 1 votes per grid step.
Reduced motion is on. The controls still update the scene.
Survey counts are 2, 3, 4. Your bars represent 0, 0, 0 votes. One grid step means 1 votes.
Each dot is one survey response. All bars start at zero and use the same vertical scale. Changing the scale clears the bars so each can be rebuilt honestly. A taller bar may represent a different count when the scale changes.

Learn with Survey Graph Studio
Survey Graph Studio asks elementary students to translate a small fruit survey into a bar graph. Each colored dot represents one vote for apples, pears, or berries. Children select the votes represented by a grid step, then build each bar by adjusting its height in whole steps. Feedback compares the original counts with the counts represented by the bars. Different goals require different scales, showing why bar height must be interpreted with the axis labels. Every bar begins at zero and uses the same scale for a fair comparison.
What to look for
Read the scale
Multiply a bar height in grid steps by the votes per grid step.
Compare fairly
Use one scale and a zero baseline for all three bars.
For teachers and curious learners
Relate counted data, bar height, and a shared graph scale. Ask students to predict what will happen, change one setting, and explain what they observe. Learn gives a starting point. Practice and Challenge offer new goals with the same scene.
