1 AO5 –Create suitable graphs and charts
Unit 3 –Problem Solving AO5 –Create suitable graphs and charts Summer term 2010 D Garey

2 Graphs/charts Choose 3 different types for DISTINCTION
Do not discuss what each graph shows at this point You MUST justify your choice of each type of graph Don’t touch line graphs unless you have continuous data! Summer term 2010 D Garey

3 Pie Charts Good for showing percentages Easy to read Very visual
Not so great for comparisons Make sure they are fully labelled, with values Summer term 2010 D Garey

4 Column Charts Clustered column is better for comparing values across categories Stacked column –compares the contribution of each value to the total in the category Summer term 2010 D Garey

5 Scatter Plots Compares pairs of values
Line of best fit can signify a correlation –positive and negative depending on trend “-er” statements can be made i.e. the older the person the less time spent on the Wii Summer term 2010 D Garey
