Making Sense of Information

Data is everywhere: in sports scores, weather charts, and your favorite video games. Understanding how to read and interpret graphs helps you make sense of the world.

Types of Graphs

  • Bar graphs: Compare amounts
  • Line graphs: Show change over time
  • Pie charts: Show parts of a whole

How to Read a Graph

  • Look at titles and labels
  • Check the scale (what each unit represents)
  • Compare heights, lengths, or angles

Why It’s Useful

Reading data helps you spot patterns, make predictions, and answer important questions.

Examples

  • Reading a line graph to see how your soccer team’s scores improve over a season.

  • Using a pie chart to decide how to spend your weekly allowance.
