Color-code the counties on the map using the data and legend provided. If you use the Color Idaho multimedia activity, click a county and you will see the name of that county in larger text in the upper right hand corner of your map exercise, where it says "selected county". After you click the county, check the chart and legend above to find out the number of people per square mile and color the county accordingly. Once you have colored the entire map, click the check button. If the colors are correct, they will remain. If the colors are wrong, they will be erased. Once your map is right, print it or keep it open on screen so that you can use it to create your graph. If the map is difficult to read, you can click here to open the map in a pop up window. When you are done working with the map, simply close the popup.


Important

If you use the Color Idaho activity to complete this exercise, be sure to print your map and graph to answer questions on the Speedback assignment! If you do not have a color printer, you will need to hand-color the map you print.

After you finish coloring your map either on paper or with the Color Idaho multimedia activity, use the map to create a graph similar to Figure 1.3.3 depicting the number of counties in each of the population categories. You can use the graphing tool, graphing paper, or Microsoft Excel, or you can make your own grid using blank paper to make the graph if you wish.

If you use the graphing tool , you will see tabs running down the center of the graphing tool. Labels, Data, Groups, and Print. First fill out the information on the "Labels" tab. If you need a hint, take a look at the Arizona county map and graph you saw earlier in this objective; make sure you have printed your map before you click back or you will lose your work on this activity. Once you fill in your labels, click the Data tab. This is where you will enter the data about each county. Hint: There is only one group on this graph. Can you figure out how many items you will have? Look at the legend above to determine how many items, or bars, you will need in your graph. Count your counties and add your data here. Click Print when you are done.

Help


Remember! Please save your completed map and graph to answer questions on the Speedback assignment.
