1. Chapter 1- Lesson 2 Making Bar Graphs
Objectives:
You will learn to display and analyze data using bar graphs and line graphs.
You will learn to compare numbers within the same graph.

2. Graphs are a useful way to organize information.
Data are pieces of information that are often numerical and are often shown in a table or graph
A bar graph uses vertical and horizontal bars to display numerical information. The length of the bar tells you the number it represents.
The scale of a bar graph is the “ruler” in the vertical axis, that measures the heights of the bars. Ex
The interval is the amount of space between the values on the scale Ex. intervals of 5 = 0, 5, 10, 15 etc.
The categories are written in the horizontal and vertical axes.

3. Steps to make a bar graph: Step 1: Decide on a scale and the interval.
Analyzing a Bar Graph Make a bar graph showing our classes favorite ice cream flavor.
Steps to make a bar graph:
Step 1: Decide on a scale and the interval.
Step 2: Label the horizontal and vertical axis.
Step 3: Draw the bars. The height of the bar shows the number it represents.
Step 4: Label the graph with a title.
