  1. Graphs How to set up successful graphs in Ms. Daniels’ class!

  2. How to set up your graph!

  3. How to set up your graph! Y Axis (This is for your dependent variable)

  4. How to set up your graph! X Axis (This is for your independent variable)

  5. TAILS Teachers' Favorite Singer T - Title

  6. TAILS Teachers' Favorite Singer T - Title A - Axis Y Axis = Dependent Variable (DV) - directly affected by the IV. X Axis = Independent Variable (IV) – part of the experiment that can be changed

LABEL your bars or data points TAILS Teachers' Favorite Singer T – Title A – Axis I – Interval L – Labels S – Scale 25 20 15 Number of Teachers 10 5 0 Mary J Keyshia Cole Jaheim Alicia Keys Lil Wayne Singers Give the bars a general label.
