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 a 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.
