1. Narnia Bar Charts
LO: to solve a problem by organising and interpreting data in bar charts.

2. What do we know about bar charts already?

3. We know a bar chart should:
* have a title.
* have numbered and labelled axis.
* have clear bars showing how much of something has been observed/recorded.
* be numbered with sensible intervals.
* answer questions about the data.

4. A bar chart always has a title.
It might also have a ‘legend’.
A bar chart always has a title.
Vertical axis (y). Always labelled and numbered.
This shows what the colour of each bar represents.
The height of the bars show how many of something was scored/recorded.
Horizontal axis (x). Always labelled.

5. How can we collect the information we need to construct a bar chart?

6. Make a frequency chart!

7. A frequency chart is similar to a tally chart…except you just write the number instead of recording by tally!
