11. Bar Graph
The purpose of a bar
graph is to display and
compare data.
Bar graphs use bars to
show the data.
A bar graph must
include:
- a title
- labeled X and Y axes
- equal intervals are
used on the Y axis
- the bars are evenly
spaced apart from
each other

12. Pictograph
All pictographs have a
title.
Rows and columns
shape the pictograph.
Label each row and
column.
Use pictures to show
the data.
Each picture equals a
certain amount of
data.
Pictographs need a
key.

13. Line Graph
A line graph is used to
illustrate change over
time.
Line graphs need:
- Title
- Labeled X and Y axes
- Equal Intervals
- Data displayed by
points connected into
lines
Return to Graph
14. Double Line Graph
A double line graph is
used to compare two
groups of related data
over time.
Double line graphs
need:
- Title
- Labeled X and Y axes
- Equal Intervals
- Data displayed by
points connected into
lines
- Key

15. Circle Graph
Circle graphs are
used to display parts
of the data in relation
to the entire amount
of data.
All circle graphs need
a title.
Each part is called a
sector and is labeled.
All angles correct
(+2/-2 degrees)

16. Double Bar Graph
The purpose of a
double bar graph is to
compare two or more
sets of data.
Uses bars to show the
data.
Double bar graphs
must include:
- Title
- Labeled X and Y axes
- Equal intervals are
used on the Y axis
- Pairs of bars are
equally spaced, but
the compared bars
are not
- Key

17. Line Plot
A line plot shows the spread of all the data
on a number line.
Easily identifies the mode.
All line plots include:
- a title
- a numbered horizontal line
- data displayed by use of X’s
Return to Graph
18. Histogram
Histograms are used
to show the frequency
of data.
Very similar to bar
graphs, but use
intervals on the X axis.
Bars do touch.
Histograms have a
title.
Histograms have two
axes which are
labeled.

19. Scatter Plot
Shows how closely
two sets of data are
related
The closer the sets
are related, the closer
the points come to
forming a straight
line.
Scatter Plots include:
- title
- labeled axes
- equal intervals
- corresponding
numbers plotted as
ordered pairs
