Why do bar charts have gaps?
The type of data we draw a bar chart for is:
Bar Chart showing the number of pets each
Discrete Data student in a Year 7 class owned
This type of data has
distinct values. Only
particular values are Frequency
possible. We use
gaps to show each
group is separate.
Can you think of any
more examples of
discrete data? Number of pets owned

On your whiteboards, use BLAST to help you and write down
anything that is missing. (There could be more than one thing).
