graphs…

2. RULES! RULES! Draw your axis with a pencil and ruler.
Choose a sensible scale for each axis. (A little bigger than the biggest number.)
Label each axis with the units and name of what you were measuring.
Plot the points carefully with a pencil.
Join up the points for a line graph, colour in the blocks for a bar chart. (Leave a space between each bar to make it as neat as possible.)
Give the graph a title – in pen and underlined.
