Data Interpretation and Graphs

Making Sense of Data

Data is information, and graphs help you see patterns and trends in that information. Learning to read and interpret graphs is a powerful skill!

Types of Graphs

  • Bar graphs: Compare things using bars of different heights.
  • Line graphs: Show changes over time.
  • Pictographs: Use pictures to represent numbers.

How to Interpret

To understand a graph, look at:

  • The labels on the sides
  • The title
  • What the bars, lines, or pictures represent

Why Use Graphs?

Graphs help you spot trends, make predictions, and explain information in a way that’s easy to understand.

Real-World Connections

You’ll see graphs in sports scores, weather reports, and science experiments.

Examples

  • Reading a bar graph to see which ice cream flavor is the most popular.

  • Comparing daily temperatures on a line graph.

In a Nutshell

Graphs turn numbers into pictures so you can see patterns and trends.
