BAR GRAPHS

- bar graphs is a chart that compares the relative amount

of items by using bars of equal width in varying lengths

- bar graphs can be vertical or horizontal

- can appear on both sides of the axis to indicate positive

and negative quantities.

- cannot represent exact quantities or provide

comparisons of quantities



PIE CHARTS

- is a circle graphs that uses various sized slice to

represent relative parts of the whole.

-used for presenting numerical data.

- good providing a quick visual impression of a particularitem.



PICTOGRAPHS

- is a variation of a bar graphs that used symbols instead

of bars to illustrate specific quantities of items

-shows the changes in particular items over a period of

time.- symbols should realistically correspond to the items.



LINE GRAPHS

- Line graphs is a diagram whose points are

connected to show the relationship between two

or more variables



How do we make a line graph?

y A line graph ALWAYS has a title!

y A line graph has two different

axissy A n axis is either the horizontal

line (called x) or the vertical line(called y) that form the base lines

of a graph.

Y

X



YOU TELL ME«.

W hat color is the y-axis?

W hat color is the x-axis?

Y

X



X-axis AND Y-axis

y When you are making a line graph, the x-axis is always horizontal, and the y-axis is

always vertical.yThe x and y-axis usually starts with zero

on a line graph

y

It is important to make sure that theintervals on our y-axis are always equal.

y What do I mean by this?



INTERPRETING LINE GRAPHS

y When we are setting up a line graph, we need todecide what intervals we want to use.

y

If we are graphing the temperature f or a year, do we want to put 365 days on the graph, and 100diff erent temperatures?

y When we see a horizontal f lat line, that means

that there was no change during a specif ic timeperiod.



PLOTTING LINE GRAPHS

yWhen we are plotting a line graph, it is important toread what inf ormation is on each axis.

y There must be a label on each axis that describes

the inf ormation.y Much like a bar graph, we look at the x-axis f irst in

order to plot our points.

complete a project.

- to show the steps involved in a project and their

relationships over time.

- gantt chart can help a team to document progress
