Eng 8 Q2 Lesson 2

This document discusses different types of graphs used to interpret data. It defines a graph as a visual representation of numerical data that helps present information meaningfully using lines, bars or pictures. The document then describes five main types of graphs: 1) Pictographs use pictures to represent values, 2) Line graphs compare two variables over time, 3) Bar graphs use bars to show values or frequencies, 4) Histograms are bar graphs that group data into intervals, 5) Pie charts represent parts of a whole with segmented circles. The document encourages interpreting data visually through graphs and directs the reader to assess their understanding of these graph types.

INTERPRETING

INFORMATION PRESENTED
THROUGH GRAPHS
Lesson 2
Learning Objectives
• Identify the different types of graphs
• Interpret an information through
graphs
• Remember that text needs visual elements
in order to convey information clearly. On
the other hand, visual element such as
tables, graphs, and information maps need
verbal elements to be understood clearly. In
the previous lesson, you interpreted the
data that were presented in a table. This
time you will interpret data presented in a
graph.
What is a Graph?
• A graph is a diagram or a picture representative for
organized set/s of measurements or numerical data that are
related to each other. It helps you present information in a
meaningful way using lines, bars, or pictures depending on
the type that will most appropriately represent the data.
Oftentimes, a graph involves large values which would
require a lot of space if printed out of a newspaper or
brochure. Thus, these are best presented through a graph.
When properly constructed, a graph convey can information
quickly.
The different types of Graph
1. Pictograph
• It is also called a pictogram, uses small pictures or
symbols that are stacked up one after another to suggest
a specific or approximated value of an item. It is
commonly used in materials for young audience and even
in materials that require visual appeal, such as magazines
and brochures.
2. Line Graph
• It compares two variables represented by the horizontal x-
axis that represents measures of time, and vertical y-axis
the represents measures of quantity. The variables are
plotted on the grid by connecting lines or dots. This kind of
graph is used to show trends because it enables the
reader to track changes in the variables involved over a
period of time.
3. Bar Graph
• It also has its axes; each is labeled with either a
categorical or a numerical variable. This graph uses
horizontal or vertical bars, whose height or length vary
based on their value or frequency. If the categories have
long labels, then it is preferable to use a horizontal bar
graph, but if you want to compare time series data or
frequency distribution, then it is more appropriate to use a
vertical bar graph.
4. Histogram
• It is a special kind of bar graph which is composed of
classes – ranges of values with equal intervals – that are
listed at the bottom of the horizontal axis. The bars that
are taller denote the classes that have higher frequencies.
5. Pie Chart
• It is also known as the circle graph, which represents the
parts of a whole. The circle of pie is divided into different
segments belonging to a general category. Usually, the
segments are arranged from the biggest to smallest value
in clockwise formation. This kind of graph is used if you
are going to compare variables whose values are not too
close so that it would be easier to understand the graph’s
meaning.
