  1. Choosing an Appropriate Graph Bar graph, Double bar graph, Line graph, Double line graph, Circle graph, Line plot, Histogram, Pictograph

  2. Parts of a Graph • All graphs MUST include: • Title • Labeled x-axis • Labeled y-axis • Even spacing • Key

  3. Using Appropriate Graphs • Making comparisons – bar graph/double bar graph • Change over time – line graph/double line graph • Multiples of a number – pictograph • Parts of a whole – circle graph • Equal intervals – histogram

  4. Examples • Wingspans of these endangered or threatened birds: bobwhite, California condor, Mariana mallard, whooping crane, and Hawaiian hawk. • The number of species of birds sighted, organized in the intervals 0-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-11, and 12-14. • Marty has kept track of how he has spent his money during the past year. He wants to display the data on a graph. Which type of graph is the best choice?

  5. Which of these would be the best type of graph to display the data below? Dan's day:sleep 8 hrs. school 7 hrs. baseball practice   2 hrs. homework 1 hr. free time 5 hrs. chores 1 hr. A. bar graph    B. circle graph    C. line graph    D. pictograph

  6. The school had a fall cookie sale. At the next PTA meeting they plan to show how much money was raised by each of the 4 grade levels. Which graph would be best for communicating the results?              A. bar graph    B. double-bar graphs    C. line graph    D. pictograph

  7. Which of the following is a bar graph of the data from the table? A B C D

  8. Which bar graph displays the same information that is in this table? A B C D
