This document discusses 6 types of graphs: bar graphs, pie graphs, histograms, line graphs, pictographs, and linear graphs. It provides a brief 1-2 sentence definition of each graph type. Bar graphs show grouped data with rectangular bars of varying lengths. Pie graphs divide data into fractional pieces like a circle cut into slices. Histograms are bar graphs that show data intervals with no gaps between bars. Line graphs display changing data over time with a horizontal line showing time periods. Pictographs use symbols or pictures to represent data quantities. Linear graphs consist of consecutive line segments that may be a continuous line used to locate points.
4. 1. Bar graph
A bar chart or bar graph is a chart that
presents Grouped data with rectangular bars
with lengths proportional to the
values that they represent. The
bars can be plotted vertically or
horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes
called a column bar chart. One axis of the
chart shows the specific categories being
compared, and the other axis represents a
discrete value.
5. 2. Pie graph
Circle graph is shaped like a circle. It is divided
into fractions that looks like pieces of pie. So the
circle graph is called a pie
graph . Many times the
fractional are different colors
and a key explain the colors.
6. 3. Histogram
Histogram is a bar graph that shows data in
intervals. It has adjacent bars over the
intervals. There are no gaps
between the bars because
there are no gaps between
the intervals.
7. line graph displays data that changes
continuously over the periods of time.
The horizontal line shows the timings at which
the temperatures were
recorded.
4. Line graph
8. 5. Pictograph
Pictograph 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.
9. 6. Linear graph
A line graph consists of bits of line segments
joined consecutively. sometimes the graph may
be a whole unbroken line. Such a graph is called a
linear graph. To draw such a line we need to
locate some points on the graph sheet.
