Chester Zoo Math Worksheets: Graphs
Part of the Heart of Africa collection!Monitoring animal populations is important to assess if the animal is endangered or threatened, to meausre biological diversity, and to examine the effects of human actions. And it's something our friends at the Chester Zoo do a lot! Try your hand at it with giraffe data and learn some important math skills on the way. Compare giraffe populations in different Ugandan national parks using:
- Bar charts
- Line graphs
- Pie charts
These worksheets accompany a Chester Zoo interactive lesson on graphs.
Chester Zoo is a leading conservation charity working to prevent extinction and create a future where people and nature can thrive. Learn more.
Math meets wildlife conservation! How do you know if a population of animals is growing or shrinking? And how can numbers help protect species in the wild? Join Chester Zoo to explore the African savanna and discover how conservationists use data to understand what is happening to wildlife populations.
Meet some of the animals that call the savanna home, then find out how Chester Zoo and its conservation partners monitor animals such as northern giraffes. You'll see how cameras, trackers, and other methods can help scientists gather information about animals in the wild — and why collecting accurate data matters.
Then become a conservation data detective! Work with real wildlife population data to spot trends and turn numbers into bar charts, line graphs, and pie charts. You'll investigate what different kinds of graphs can tell us and consider why scientists and conservation organizations need to communicate their findings clearly.
Finally, take what you've learned beyond the numbers. Use data to think about how people can make choices that help wildlife, collect information from your own class, and turn your findings into a message that could inspire others to take action.
