• Recognize the parts of a data table [L1]
• Construct a data table [L2]
• Recognize the 3 main types of graphs [L1]
• Memorize which axis is to be used to represent variables [L1]
• Predict -given specific data- which type of graph is more appropriate to use [L2]
• Graph data in its appropriate form/type [L2]
• Distinguish between extrapolation and interpolation [L2]

BAR GRAPHalso known as HISTOGRAM
• Better suited for data collected by counting
• Shows a relationship b/t 2 groups, but one does not affect necessarily the other
• One set of data is divided into categories, events, places…
• Examples sales/profits per month number of earthquakes and location
over a 4 weeks period average rainfall

PIE / CIRCLE GRAPH
• Represents the different parts of a whole / how categories of information compare to each other
•Example: chemical composition of our atmosphere

LINE GRAPH
• Continuous set of data showing how one factor [variable] affects another• IMPORTANT CONVENTION to remember
•X = horizontal = input = independent Δ•Y = vertical = output = dependent Δ
11
LINE GRAPH
•Best-fit line rather than data connected “dot-to-dot”
• BFL is a straight line or smooth curve that satisfies most of the points.
• it will show TRENDS that allows to make predictions

The final graph is also known as Standard Graph
From a Standard graph, one can further find information that was NOT collected during experimentation.
Interpolation: values that fall within the collected data
Extrapolation: values that fall outside the collected data
16
The independent variable is always placed on the vertical axis
A. True
B. False

?Which one would you trust the most?
Extrapolation or Interpolation?18

different countries?
A. Bar
B. Pie
C. Line
19
