    The document provides information and examples about how to interpret and construct different types of graphs, including bar graphs, double bar graphs, and line graphs. It discusses the key differences between bar graphs and line graphs. Specifically, it notes that line graphs are used to show changes over time, with examples like rainfall measured monthly or calories burned while running over hours. The document also provides step-by-step instructions for how to properly plot and label information on a line graph by identifying the variables that belong on each axis. Finally, it includes examples of completed line graphs and prompts the reader to interpret graphs and construct their own.

    How to interpret a Bar Graph?

    The bar graph shows Mr. Snowdens students by gender and band membership.

    1
    Female band

    How many of Mr. Snowdens students are band members? How many of Mr. Snowdens students are not band members?

    Female not Male band band

    Male not band

    Whats the purpose of a double bar graph?

    A double bar graph is used when each data group contains two different sets of frequency data.

    Whats the purpose of a double bar graph?

    Example:

    Pre and post tests

    Double Bar Graph


    Speed Limit on Interstate Roads

    Speed Limit (mi/h)

    Label the axes and give the graph a title. Make a key to show what each bar represents

    Line graphs-A graph that is used to show change over time.


    Seconds - Minutes - Hours Days Weeks - Months Years - Decades Centuries - etc.

    What can time be measured in???

    When to use a line graph?


    Would we use a line graph in the following situations: To show how many people like pizza in this class? NO
    To show how much it rained each month this year? YES- because months and years deal with time. To show how many people go to the movies on Friday? NO

    Birthdays?
    Would we use a line graph to show when our birthdays are?

    Our birthday does deal with time doesnt it? (months/years) But, our birthday is constant, meaning it never changes. A line graph shows change in time, so we would not use it for this type of graph.

    How do we make a line graph?


    A line graph ALWAYS has a title! A line graph has two different axis An axis is either the horizontal line (called x) or the vertical line (called y) that form the base lines of a graph.

    Plotting a Line graph


    When we are plotting a line graph, it is important to read what information is on each axis. There must be a label on each axis that describes the information. Put the time on the X (horizontal axis). Put whats changing on the Y (vertical axis).
