 Lesson Organizing Data in
1 Tabular Form and Presenting it
in a Line Graph

We deal with various information everyday which are mostly consist

of numerical data. These data can easily be understood if it is presented in a
graph rather than describing it with words.We can use different graphs such
as bar graph, pie graph, pictograph or line graph to present our data. This
lesson focuses on line graph which include organizing data in tabular form
and presenting it in a line graph.

What’s In

Activity I

Directions: Read the situation and make a list of the information that can
be found in it.

1. MicMacMig Corporation has two branches. One in Lian, Batangas and the
other one in Nasugbu, Batangas. Its store in Lian, Batangas has the
following Daily Sales: Sunday, ₱120,000; Monday, ₱85,000; Tuesday,
₱65,000; Wednesday, ₱95,000; Thursday, ₱105,000; Friday, ₱110,000
and Saturday, ₱125,000. Its Nasugbu, Batangas branch recorded the
following sales: Sunday, ₱155,000; Monday, ₱100,000; Tuesday, ₱90,000;
Wednesday, ₱105,000; Thursday, ₱115,000; Friday, ₱145,000 and
Saturday, ₱135,000.
Activity II

Directions: List the variables found in the problems below.

1. Mr. Arceo recorded the number of foreign visitors to an exhibition on five

days. There were 35 foreigners who watched the show on Wednesday, 40
on Thursday, 18 on Friday, 55 on Saturday and 110 on Sunday.

2. Anna and Annie are twins. Their mother, Angie kept a record of the twins’
weight. At the age of 1-year-old, Anna is 8.5 kg while Annie is 8.75 kg. At
two, Anna is 12 kg and Annie is 11.9 kg. At three, Anna is 14.8 kg while
Annie is 15.2 kg.

3
 What’s New
At a glance,it is hard to tell what the highest or lowest temperature
recorded is. For us to answer the question, we have to properly organize the
data. We can do this by sorting them in a tables and present in a line graph.

Directions: Organize in a table form the recorded data below and present it
in a line graph. Write your answers in a sheet of paper.

1. Many tousists visited Tagaytay in summer because of its cold

temperature. The recorded temperature in Tagaytay was Monday: 20 °C ,
Tuesday : 22 °C , Wednesday 20 °C, Thursday 15 °C, Friday 17 °C,
Saturday 22 °C, Sunday 10 °C.

A. Organize in a tabular form

B. Present in a line graph

What is It

Can you organize data in a tabular form

and present it in a line graph ?

Organization of data is the best system to interpret and analyze the

results and it is very useful in our daily lives. We are dealing with so much
information that we need to organize to see the possible outcomes of events.
In doing this, a branch of Mathematics is being used. It is called Statistics.

Statistics is the collection, organization, presentation, interpretation

and analysis of data.

Data is a set of values used in Statistics.

Variables are characteristics or properties of people, objects, places or

things in statistics that are being presented by data.

Collection of data may be done in a lot of ways such as survey,

interview, or through observations.

4
 After the data has been collected, it is important that we organize the
data so that presentation, interpretation, and analysis will be easy.
Organization of data is commonly done through tables.

When organizing data using tables, it is important to properly label

the rows and columns and include a title that briefly describes the data in
the table.

Example 1:

A Grade 5 student wants to know the most commonly used vowel in

English. She considered copying a paragraph from the internet about
COVID19 and identified how often each vowel is used. Make a tally of the
frequency of use of vowels in the selection below and organize your answers
in a table.

“ Coronavirus are zoonotic,meaning they are transmitted between animals

and people. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever,
cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. Standard
recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular
handwashing,wearning facemask and social distancing.

Solution:

A- IIII- IIII- IIII- IIII – IIII

E- IIII- IIII- IIII- IIII- IIII- IIII
I- IIII- IIII- IIII- IIII- II
O- IIII- IIII- IIII- IIII
U- IIII – I

Commonly Used Vowels

Vowels Frequency
A 24
E 29
I 22
O 20
U 6
The data in Example 1 were collected through direct observation.
There are also instances when we collect data through survey. Survey may
be done through giving out survey questionnaires in person or through
emails, or interviews through the telephone or in person.

Example 2 :

Jordan is a Math tutor who earns P500.00/session. He worked for 4

sessions on Monday, 3 sessions on Tuesday, 2 session on Wednesday, 2
5
sessions on Thursday and 6 sessions on Friday. Make a table of his daily
earnings and determine how much Jordan has earned in a week.

Solution:

Example 2 has two variables: the number of sessions that Jordan has
worked and the amount he earns. To determine his daily earnings, we just
multiply the number of sessions by P500.00. So the table will look like the
one below:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Total

Sessions 4 3 2 2 6 17

Daily 2000 1500 1000 1000 3000 8500

earnings
in Peso
From this table, we can see that Jordan earned P8500.00 in one week
Example 3:

Grade 5-Love held their class elections last Monday. For the position
of president, Maria, Leonora, and Theresa were nominated. In their class of
50 pupils, they gained the number of votes as shown in the tally below. Were
all of them present during the elections? If not, how many pupils were
absent?
Name Tally Number
IIII -IIII
Maria 10
IIII -IIII – IIII – IIII- III
Leonora 23
IIII- IIII- IIII-II
Theresa 17
For us to understand deeper, these are the following steps:

Understand

a. What is asked?
-how many pupils were absent
b. What are the given facts?
-There are 50 students in Grade 5 Love
-10 of the students voted for Maria
-23 of the students voted for Leonora
-17 of the students voted for Theresa
Plan

What strategy can we use to solve the problem? Since the data of the
number of votes for the class president position were given in tabular form,
we can use addition.

6
Solve

1. We will get the sum of all votes: 10+ 23+ 17= 50

2. This means that no one was absent and all pupils were present last
Monday.
Check

To check, we will add the total number of votes and compare it with the total
number of pupils.

10 + 23 + 17= 50

50=50

Therefore, everyone was really present that day and no one was absent.

Line graph
Data gathered and organized can be presented using graphs.One of
these is a line graph.

Line graph gives a clear picture of collected data. It is a kind of graph

used to show trends or changes over a period of time. It consists of grids
where the data are plotted with the use of dots connected by lines. The line
graph has a vertical line called the y-axis which contains the first variable in
the collected data. On the other hand, the horizontal line called the x-axis in
the line graph contains the second variable that relates to the first variable
in the collected data.

Example 4:

Below are the records of two players who both competed in a swimming
competition.
Records: Event 1: Swimmer A-4 mins , Swimmer B-4.5 mins

Event 2: Swimmer A-3 mins , Swimmer B-3.5 mins

Event 3: Swimmer A 3.75 mins , Swimmer B-3 mins

Event 4: Swimmer A- 4mins , Swimmer B-4.5 mins

Let’s organize it in a table form and present it with a line graph

The line graph as shown contains two related data, the events which
can be seen in the horizontal axis (or x-axis) and the corresponding
recorded time which is shown in the vertical axis (or y-axis).

When we want to show the trends on two items,one of the line graphs we
may use is a broken line graph to distinguish the representation of one item
from another.

In our everyday activities, we deal with numerical information called

data. These data can be accurately and clearly presented in a graph. At this
lesson, it is the best time to learn more about the line graph as we will be
interpreting and analyzing data we have gathered and
organized in the previous lesson.

What is It
A kind of graph to show trends or changes over a period of time is called line
graph. In a line graph, a line that goes up means an increase in value while a line
that goes down from its previous point means a decrease in value.

In reading and interpreting the data presented in a line graph, we usually

compare the data in terms of size and amount or quality presented. We state the
direction of the changes in the set of values to determine whether they are
increasing or decreasing.
