Using an atlas or the Internet, look up and select five U.S. counties. Determine where these counties are located and use the information on the map to create a graph representing the information. Select the type of graph that will work best for this purpose. You may round the population to the nearest thousand.

Create your graph using pencil and paper. In the paragraph box below, identify the counties you selected and their populations. Explain which type of graph you chose to make and why.

Remember: Round up if the last 3 digits are 500 or more; round down if the last 3 digits are 499 or less.
