Graphing and Data Analysis

Making Sense of Information

Graphs help you see patterns and trends in data. You can use bar graphs, line plots, and pictographs to show how things change or compare.

Reading and Creating Graphs

  • Bar graphs show comparisons between groups.
  • Line plots show how something changes over time.
  • Pictographs use pictures or symbols to represent data.

Analyzing Data

Look for the highest, lowest, or most common values. Ask questions like, "Which snack is most popular?" or "How many days did it rain?"

Real-World Fun

  • Tracking your daily steps with a bar graph.
  • Recording and comparing the weather each week.

Examples

  • A bar graph comparing the number of books read by students in a class.

  • A line plot showing the temperatures for each day of a week.

In a Nutshell

Graphing helps you organize and understand data visually.
