Here's a link to a great explanation of Discrete vs. Continuous Data:

This weekend, everyone will find and record one set of discrete data and one set of continuous data at home or out in the community (basically anywhere in your weekend environment).
Take that data and create two graphs:
- a bar graph for the discrete data
- a line graph for the continuous data
For example, the line graph we created in class to track the time it took to complete the ball pass game is continuous.
A bar graph showing the the number of students in each classroom at BAS would display discrete data.
