Data and Graphs

DAY 1: Introduction

• Student will learn the parts of a graph.• Student will decide when to use a line graph

and when to use a bar graph.

What is DATA

• DATA is a collection of facts -ex: The height of all students in 5B -The favorite food of all students in 5B -The average temperature in Concepcion from 1950 to 2011 -The percent of people without jobs every month

How to Represent Data

1) In a table:

Class Total number of students

4 A 22

4 B 18

5 A 21

5 B 19

• 2) In a bar graph

Graph Vocabulary•Graph title: This explains what data a graph shows•Axis: The two sides of a graph •Groups Data Axis: shows the type of data being displayed (it is usually on the bottom) •Frequency Data Axis: this axis has a scale and shows the quantity in each groups (it is usually on the side)

•Scale:it is on the Frequency Data Axis. The scale shows the numbers from the lowest to the highest

•Interval: How many numbers the scale increases by each time there is a line

Scale vs Interval

The SCALE is 0-25 studentsThe INTERVAL is 5

How to describe a graph• Trend: a pattern in a graph.• Increase: to go up• Decrease: to go down

Bar graph OR line graph???

• Bar graph: It is used to show differences in many types of data

• Line graph: It is used to show how one thing changes over time

• In the following situations we will decide: -Should we use a line graph or bar graph? -What trends do we see in the graph?

• I want to show students’ favourite colors (red, blue, green, black, pink)

• How many students like each color• Should I use a line graph of a bar graph?

• I want to show how much money people make in different regions of Canada

• I want to show change in the temperature of a place from Day 1 to Day 14

• I want to show how many people did not have a job between 1989 to 2008

• I want to show the population in the five largest countries in South America

• I want to show how the population of Chile has changed in the past 10 years.

Day 2: Bar graphs

• Remember: a bar graph shows the data of DIFFERENT things.

What vocabulary do we know?

• Title• Axis• Group Data Axis• Frequency Data Axis• Scale• Interval

• Bar graph 1 in Unit 5 math folder

Double Bar Graph

• A double bar graph shows different groups of information. Each group is separated into categories.

• -What is the title?• -What data is on the

frequency data axis?• -What data is on the

group data axis?• -What is the scale?• -What is the interval?• -What do the different

colors represent?

Day 6

• You will make your OWN graph. You will collect data and construct a graph. This will be for a MARK. Make sure to label the axis and include a title.

-survey your classmates (favorite color) -do an experiment (how many bounces do different balls have?) -look for information (get the temperature of every day this month in Concepcion)
