  1. Graphs Visual Representations of Numbers and Data

  2. Main Types of Graphs • Bar Graphs • Histograms • Line Graphs • Pie Chart

  3. Bar Graphs • Used to present and compare data • Double and group bar graphs are popular • Can be horizontal or vertical • Good for comparing quantity (how much of something) and/or changes in quantity among different groups

  4. Bar Graphs • Bar Graph Example: Survey the class of what kind of pet they own. • Double Bar Graph Example: Survey the class about what kind of music they listen to, and what kind of music their parents listen to.

  5. Group Bar Graph

  6. Histograms • Look similar to bar graphs • Used to show quantity for ranges of numbers, for example: 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc. • Good to show and compare how much of something there is when grouped. • Used in imaging (photography) to calculate how many of a certain color or value pixel there is.

  7. Histogram • Example: Survey the class about how many times they check Facebook in a week. Organize the data into groups of 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, etc. Mark how many people fall into each group and graph.

  8. Line Graphs • Used to show changes in data, usually over time. • Good for showing direction of change rather than amount like in a bar graph. • Key word here is TIME.

  9. Line Graphs • Example: Track the average cost of making a movie between 1983 and 1996.

  10. Line Graph

  11. Pie Chart • Used to show parts of a whole. • Good for most things that talk about percentages of something. • Not good if there are too many pieces.

  12. Pie Chart • Example: Find out the number of car accidents in 2009, how many were caused by teenagers, adults, and seniors. Turn those numbers into percentages. • Example: The percentage of people in the class that own an American made car vs foreign made or no car.
