Markle, Sandra. Discovering Graph Secrets: Experiments, puzzles, and games exploring graphs. New York: Atheneum, 1997.


Graphs make it possible to present and analyze large amounts of information in a clear, attractive way.

Learn how graphs make it easy to present information such as the average number of M&Ms of each color in a bag, how kids spend their allowances, or which TV shows are most popular. Read and create your own bar graphs, pictographs, line graphs and circle graphs based on fun surveys and experiments that you can do at home with your friends and family.

 
"Markle really cuts up fun into bits of fun by writing this children's book. It tells of line graphs, bar graphs, pictographs and circle graphs. The book lets you participate a lot by asking for the answers to detailed questions. I enjoyed the graph examples. In general, I found this book very out of the ordinary."
