•Summarizes findings and executes

the report through narrative and


visual/graphic forms. (CS_EN11/12A-
EAPP-Iie-j-11)
Circle Graph (Pie Chart)
Displays data using a circle divided
into sectors. We use a circle graph (also
called a pie chart) to show how data
represent portions
of one whole or one
group. Notice
that each sector is
represented by
%
Bar Graph
Displays data by using bars of equal width on a grid. The bars
may be vertical or horizontal. Bar graphs are used for
comparisons.
Pictograph
Uses pictures and symbols to display data;
each picture or symbol can represent
more than one object; a key tells what
each picture represents.
Broken Line Graph
A graph showing data points joined by line
segments to show trends over time.
Continuous Line Graph
A graph in which points on the line between
the plotted points also have meaning.
Sometimes, this is a “best fit” graph where
a straight line is drawn to fit the data
points. Notice that
the independent
variable is on the X
axis, & the
dependent is on
the Y axis.
Scatter Plots
A graph of data that is a set of points.
Sample Question #1
• Mrs. Ashby has a math class with 23
students. She ordered the marks her
students received from the least to the
54 55 58
greatest.
61 63 66
67 71 72
• She wanted to display these data in a 72 74 76
bar graph. 77 78 79
81 86 87
• There were too many pieces of data to 88 91 95
graph each mark separately. First, he 95 99
grouped the marks into equal intervals.
(Define)
Marks # of Students

54 55 58
61 63 66
67 71 72
72 74 76
77 78 79
81 86 87
88 91 95
95 99
Sample Question #2
• Jackie and Vidhu recorded the average monthly
temperatures in their towns for 8 months.
May June July Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.
Jackie’s
13C 18C 23C 20C 15C 9C 2C 0C
town
Vidhu’s
18C 21C 23C 23C 18C 14C 9C 5C
town

• What kind of graph should we display the data for each town?
Circle, Bar, Line, Pictograph, Scatterplots? Should we put both sets
of data on the same grid? Should we use a different color for each
town?

• Is the average monthly temperature in Vidhu’s town always higher


than in Jackie’s town? How can you tell this from the graph?

• Write a statement about what the graph shows for each town.

• Write two questions that can be answered using your graph.
