2 Collect some data Organise it in a table Present it in a diagram Any more...??

4 Objective To be able to draw a bar chart

5 When drawing a bar chart it must follow the following rules: The bars can be vertical or horizontal The bars must be the same width The gaps between the bars must all be the same size The length or height of the bar represents the frequency Both axis should be clearly labelled.

6 Drawing a bar chart from a set of data using excel SportFrequency Tennis7 Football6 Netball5 Athletics7 Other3

7 Open an Excel document and type your data into the sheet. High light the table. Click on the insert tab on the tool bar.

8 Click on column and chose the first bar chart You should now have a bar chart on your spreadsheet This will change the colour of your bars

9 Click on the layout tab Decide where you want the title Decide where you want the axis labels Decide where you want the legend Decide what data labels you want Add extra writing You can click on the writing on your bar chart at any time to change the writing.

11 Label your axis Label each bar Make the bars equal in width Leave equal gaps Label axis Chose your axis. To do this look at the highest frequency in your frequency table

12 Draw bars that go up to the corresponding frequency. Don’t forget the title

13 Objective To be able to draw pictograms

14 A pictogram uses pictures to show the data. It must always have a key. SportFrequency Tennis7 Football6 Netball5 Athletics7 Other3 Drawing a pictogram The first thing you need to do is to chose a picture for your pictogram. In this case a circle will be used. (Although your picture can be better!) You then need to decide what one picture represents. In this case the frequencies only go up to 7. So I will use one full circle to represent 2 people. If you had a large number of frequencies, you may chose a circle to represent 10, 100 or 1000!

15 = 2 people What will the following pictures show? = 3 people = 1 person = 4 people

16 Now we have worked out what one of our pictures is worth, you need to work out what picture represents each frequency! SportFrequency Tennis7 Football6 Netball5 Athletics7 Other3 Sport Tennis Football Netball Athletics Other Key = 2 people Don’t forget the key!!

17 Objective To be able to draw a pie chart

18 Drawing a pie chart using excel SportFrequency Tennis7 Football6 Netball5 Athletics7 Other3

19 Open an Excel document and type your data into the sheet. High light the table. Click on the insert tab on the tool bar.

20 Click on Pie and chose the first pie chart (called 2D) You should now have a pie chart on your spreadsheet This will change the colour of your bars

21 Click on the layout tab Decide where you want the title Decide where you want the legend Decide what data labels you want Add extra writing You can click on the writing on your pie chart at any time to change the writing.

27 Objective To be able to draw a choropleth map.

28 What is a choropleth Map? Choropleth maps are normally seen in Geography. A key gives the values of the variable for each shading Regions are shaded with an increasing depth of colour As the shading gets darker the variable increases

29 Choropleth maps are appropriate for indicating differences in land use, like the amount of recreational land or type of forest cover and the amount of population. Choropleth maps are also good to help to show how something has changed over time. When drawing Choropleth maps you must ensure that you include a key!

30 These Choropleth maps show the number of people per square mile in the same place in 1900 and 2000. Can you see how it has changed?

31 Objective To be able to draw a scatter graph

32 A scatter graph is used to plot two sets of data to see whether there is a connection or correlation between them. There are 3 main types of correlation: Positive correlation As one variable increases the other increases. No correlation There is no connection. Negative correlation As one variable increases the other decreases

33 Drawing a scatter graph using excel Example Draw a scatter graph from the following data to see whether there is any connection between temperature and the number of ice creams sold. Temperature (°F)Ice creams sold 7210 618 451 656 788 512 676

34 Open an Excel document and type your data into the sheet. High light the table. Click on the insert tab on the tool bar.

35 Click on scatter and chose the first scatter graph. You should now have a scatter graph on your spreadsheet This will change the colour of your points

36 Click on the layout tab Decide where you want the legend Decide what data labels you want Add extra writing You can click on the writing on your scatter graph at any time to change the writing. Chose a chart title Chose axis title Chose what type of grid lines you want Do you want a trend line? This will help to see what type of correlation your graph shows.

37 Don’t forget your title Make sure you label your axis Trend line Say what the scatter graph shows The trend line shows positive correlation. This means as the temperature increases the number of ice creams sold increases

38 Drawing a scatter graph by hand Example Draw a scatter graph from the following data to see whether there is any connection between temperature and the number of ice creams sold. Temperature (°F)Ice creams sold 7210 618 451 656 788 512 676

39 1) Draw x and y axis on your graph paper

40 2) Look at the range of data and decide what values to use on your x and y axis.

41 3) Plot each point using a cross

42 3) Write a title and label the axis

43 4) Draw a trend line (line of best fit) to help you decide on the type of correlation.

44 Objective To be able to draw a line graph

45 There are two types of line graphs: Vertical Line Graph This is just like a bar chart, where the bars are just lines. You draw this type of graph for discrete data. Line graph You join each point together with a straight line. You can only draw this graph for continuous data. If the data is grouped you use the middle value. This is sometimes called a frequency polygon.

46 Notes Discrete data – When data only takes certain individual values e.g. Shoe size Continuous data – When data can have any number value e.g. Time To draw a line graph on excel follow the instructions for a scatter graph but click to make a line graph. To draw a line graph by hand follow instructions for scatter graph but join up the points.
