  1. Introduction Question What are the first thoughts that come to mind when you think of geographic tables, charts, and graphs?

  2. Tables, Charts, and Graphs

  3. Tables • Purpose of a table • Present data in an organized fashion • Can display numerical data, or categorical data (ex. types of sports, or something being present or not present) Attendance for 10/13/13 Canada Provinces, Population, & Climate Zones

  4. Tables • How to read a table. • What do you notice about this table? • There is a title, the data matches • What is the population of Ontario? • 13,505,000 million people • What are the climate zones of Nunavut • Tundra & Subarctic Canada Provinces, Population, & Climate Zones

  5. Tables • How to create a table. • Determine the information needed and the number of columns for the data needed • Draw a table and label each of the rows and columns • Enter the data into the correct box • Title the table Canada Provinces Population & Climate Zones Quebec 8,054,800 Humid continental & Subarctic Ontario 13,505,900 Humid continental & Subarctic Nunavut 33,700 Tundra & Subarctic

  6. Line Graphs • Purpose of this type of graph • Compare two variables, like population and time. • Show specific values and trends in data (example: increases and decreases) so you can make predictions • Display changes in direction or represent data over time (data measured in time intervals)

  7. Line Graphs Ice Cream Cone Sales in Portland • How to read this type of graph • What does this graph say? • Displays the ice cream sales in Portland by thousands between June - December • 2 variables are the numbers of cones sold and the month • What do you notice about the graph? • There is a title, scale (the numbers), and key • Ice cream sales drop in December and are highest in August Number sold (Thousands)

  8. Line Graphs • How to create this type of graph • Find data and decide two variables • Put variables on axis, label them, and determine the scale • Place points and connect the dots with a line • Title the graph USA Population Population (millions) Years

  9. Pie Chart • Purpose of this type of chart • Compares how part of something relates to the whole • Often used with percentages (ex. Ethnicity of students)

  10. Pie Chart • What do you notice? • There is a title, there is a key, it is discussing student ethnicity • The pie adds up to 100% • Which ethnicity is the largest? • Caucasian • Which ethnicity is the smallest? • Other • How to read this type of chart 65 + 20 + 12 + 3 = 100

  11. Pie Chart • How to create this type of chart • Find data and decide the variables • Make a circle, and break up the pie based on the data • Label the “pieces of the pie” • Title the graph

  12. Bar Graphs • Purpose of this type of graph • Bar graphs are used to present and compare data, and to make quick generalizations • Compare data in a simple format consisting of rectangular bars, differ in height based on value • Excellent way to show results that are one time, that aren't continuous (favorite after school activity or Ethnicity of a population)

  13. Bar Graphs • How to read this type of graph • What do you see? • The title, a scale, a key • The graph is on music preferences by high school grade • Do you see any trends? • The most popular seems to be Hip Hop/Rap and Techno

  14. Bar Graphs • How to create this type of graph • Find data and determine the variables • Put variables on axis, label them, determine scale and key • Make the bars • Title the graph US Female Ethnicity by Age, 2002 Percent of females
