- One type of graph is a bar graph. These graphs can be shown horizontally or vertically. These graphs are usually helpful for comparing two or more sets of data.
- Another graph is called a circle graph, or a pie chart. The data is divided into "slices" of the pie and paired with a color.
- Another type of graph is a line graph. This is when the data in the word problem is plotted on a graph with an (X,Y) coordinates.
- The last type of graph is a histogram which is almost like a bar graph but a little different. Unlike a bar graph a histogram the bars must be touching, and the data must be put in order on the graph.
Example #1. In the last ten years vinyl record sales have increased. Using the data below make a line graph.
Wow I really like all of your visuals. The graphs are easy to read and make your concept east to understand
