Advanced Topics

Data Analysis: Graphs and Charts

Collecting and Understanding Data

Data is information that we can count or measure. We use graphs and charts to show data in a way that's easy to understand.

Types of Graphs

  • Bar Graphs: Use bars to show how many.
  • Picture Graphs: Use pictures or symbols.
  • Line Plots: Show data along a line.

Why Use Graphs?

Graphs help us compare things quickly and spot patterns.

Real-World Uses

We use graphs to show favorite ice cream flavors, the weather, or how many books students read in a month.

Examples

  • A bar graph shows how many students like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream.

  • A picture graph can show how many pets each classmate has.

In a Nutshell

Graphs and charts help us organize and understand information.
