Making Graphs from Data. Bar, Line, or Pie? / One of the first things one needs to do when graphing is decide whether to make a bar graph or a line graph.

What are some different types of graphs? Students brainstorm types of graphs

What are some different types of graphs?

Bar Graphs Use a bar graph when data grouped by specific categories.

Circle graph (Pie Chart) Circle Graphs are used to display data when the specific categories are parts of a whole. Method of transportation to school of all students in California

Scatter Plots Scatter plots are used to compare a possible relationship between two variables.

Scatter Plots Scatter plots are used to compare a possible relationship between two variables.

Line Graphs Line graphs are used to compare how one variable changes in response to a continuously changing variable.

Line Graphs Line graphs are used to compare how one variable changes in response to a continuously changing variable.

Components of a Good Graph Choose the best type of graph to tell the story of the data Draw the axes or axis Decide the best intervals and label your axes with consistient increments. Plot the points Label the axes (always include the units!) Add a key if needed. Give your graph a descriptive title. T-A-L-K-I-T-U-P (use this acronym to check your completed graph)

Group work roles Facilitator- Responsible to ensure everyone’s participation and help keep everyone on task. (Participate) Compliance specialist- Make sure that the group work is fulfilling all of the requirements (Pause). Skeptic- Listen carefully to peoples ideas and ask clarifying questions (Probe) Clarifier Maintain positive group attitude and push the group to develop ideas further (Positive, Paraphrase)

What kind of graph? Spend 5 minutes to quietly reading through the 4 data sets. On your handout write down which type of graph you think would best fit the data. Share which type of graph would be best for each set of data and why- When finished place your red cup at the edge of the table and I will assign you the graph your group will construct Create a graph for your assigned data set on your white board. Be sure to use all of the components of a good graph (TALK-IT-UP)
