  3. Bar Graphs • Questions: • What was the total number of pupils In the class? • What number of pupils liked Plain and Salt and vinegar crisps?

  4. Draw x and y axis Add labels and units Add suitable scale Draw in crosses at the correct points Join the crosses with a ruler Line Graphs

  5. Line Graphs • Questions: • What happens to the temperature as the time increase? • What is the total increase in temperature? • What are the units of temperature?

  6. Averages Example: • The height of 5 pupils in a class were as follows; 170cm, 165cm, 160cm, 155cm, 178cm. What was the average height of the class? Step 1. Add 170+165+160+155+178=828 Step 2. Divide by the number of pupils 828 /5 = 165.6cm
