Tables and Graphs


Graphs are pictures that help us understand amounts. These amounts are called data. There are many kinds of graphs, each having special parts.

A circle graph is shaped like a circle. It is divided into fractions that look like pieces of pie, so sometimes a circle graph is called a pie graph. Many times the fractional parts are different colors and a key explains the colors.




1.    How many percent loves country and jazz music?
2.    How many percent don’t like rock music?
3.    What is the two most favourite music? What was their overall percentage?
4.    What is the two types of music that are liked less?
5.    What is the music that is higher than jazz but lower  than rock?

 
A bar graph uses bars to show data. The bars can be vertical (up and down), or horizontal (across). The data can be in words or numbers.
  


 
1.    What is the animal that can hold his breath for twelve minutes?
2.    What animal can hold his breath beyond ten minutes?
3.    What is  the animal with the leas minutes to hold its breath?



1.    Who can read the most number books?
2.    Who is the third best reader?
3.    Who is the least reader?
4.    Who is the second least reader?
5.    Who is the second best reader?

  
A picture graph uses pictures or symbols to show data. One picture often stands for more than one vote so a key is necessary to understand the symbols.


A histogram is a special kind of bar graph. The data must be shown as numbers in order.

1.    In what week Mitch has saved the most?
2.    In what week did she save the leasr?
3.    In what week she saved 2 dollars?


 
A line graph shows points plotted on a graph. The points are then connected to form a line.

 
 
 
1.    In what age was Trey 55 inches?
2.    At what age was Trey 35 inches?
3.    Ar what age was Trey 50 inches?



  
Tables and graphs are visual representations. They are used to organise information to show patterns and relationships. A graph shows this information by representing it as a shape.
Tables and graphs can be useful tools for helping people make decisions. However, they only provide part of a story. Inferences often have to be made from the data shown. As well as being able to identify clearly what the graph or table is telling us, it is important to identify what parts of the story are missing. This can help the reader decide what other information they need, or whether the argument should be rejected because the supporting evidence is suspect.


1.    In what time does the temperature falls in 17.3?
