Pie Chart:
Pie Chart:
- Each colour represents a different item.
- The circle represents the whole object (like a pie)
- Each part (colour) represents how much of the pie is taken up by the item. (A percentage)
For more information on how to read and interpret the pie chart, check out this video from Khan Academy.
Bar Graph
Bar Graph
- Allows a comparison of numbers between different categories or objects
- The numbers typically go up the sides (y-axis)
- The categories typically go across the bottom (x-axis)
- The height of the bar shows the number in the associated category.

Line Graph
Line Graph
- Used to track relationships between dependent and independent data.
- Independent data is manipulated or happens on its own. It usually goes across the bottom of the graph (x-axis)
- Dependent data relies on changes of the independent data. It usually goes up the side of the graph (y-axis)
