BAR GRAPHS
There are many different types of graphs. Graphs are visual representations of amounts or numbers. A graph is like a picture that shows you HOW MANY.
We are going to learn about BAR GRAPHS. A bar graph uses bars to show us how many of each item or event (occurrence) there is. BARS are the rectangles that are placed on the graph .
A bar graph COMPARES amounts. How do we compare amounts? Lets practice comparing the amount of shapes below.
A bar graph has 4 main parts: 1. The Title 2. The Y-Axis 3. The X-Axis 4. The bars Lets look at all the parts of a bar graph. . .
TITLE The TITLE tells us what the graph is about 8 7 The X-AXIS tells us WHAT we are counting 6 Y-Axis 5 4 The Y-Axis tells us HOW MANY 3 2 1 The bars represent each item 0 Item #1 Item #2 X-Axis Item #3
How to Read a Bar Graph Amount of Red and Green Apples Step 1) Read what item we are counting (x -axis) S tep 2) Put your finger on the top of the bar 5 4 y-axis Number of apples 3 2 1 0 Green apples Red apples x-axis Step 3) Follow the line with your finger over to the numbers (y-axis) Step 4) Read the number to figure out how many of that item
How Many Shapes? 8 7 4 How many ? 2 How many ? 3 Number of shapes y-axis 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Type of shape x-axis
Title bars y-axis x-axis
Where is the title? Where is the y-axis? Where is the x-axis? Where are the bars? What is this bar graph telling us?
