Transcription de la présentation
  1. Line Graphs

  2. Today I want you to help me make a graph. • I want to make a graph that shows the change in temperature throughout the day yesterday. • What kind of graphs could we make to show this?

  3. Bar Graph vs Line Graph • What is the difference between a bar graph and a line graph?

  4. Line graphs-A graph used to show change over time. What can time be measured in??? Seconds - Minutes - Hours – Days - Weeks - Months – Years - Decades - Centuries - etc.

  5. When to use a line graph? Would we use a line graph in the following situations: • To show how many people like pizza in this class? NO • To show how much it rained each month this year? YES- because months and years deal with time. To show how many people go to Friendly’s on Friday? NO

  6. Birthdays? • Would we use a line graph to show when our birthdays are? • Our birthday does deal with time doesn’t it? (months/years) • But, our birthday is constant, meaning it never changes. • A line graph shows change in time,so we would not use it for this type of graph.

  7. Y X How do we make a line graph? • A line graph ALWAYS has a title! • A line graph has two different axis’s • An axis is either the horizontal line (called x) or the vertical line (called y) that form the base lines of a graph.

  8. Vertical Y X (Horizontal YOU TELL ME…. What color is the y-axis? What color is the x-axis?

  9. X-axis and Y-axis • When you are making a line graph, the x-axis is always horizontal, and the y-axis is always vertical. • The x and y-axis usually starts with zero on a line graph • It is important to make sure that the intervals on our y-axis are always equal. • What do I mean by this?

  10. Intervals • When we are setting up a line graph, we need to decide what intervals we want to use. • If we are graphing the temperature for a year, do we want to put 365 days on the graph, and 100 different temperatures? • When we see a horizontal flat line, that means that there was no change during a specific time period.

  11. Time in minutes Plotting a Line graph • When we are plotting a line graph, it is important to read what information is on each axis. • There must be a label on each axis that describes the information. • Put the time on the X (horizontal axis). Put what’s changing on the Y (vertical axis).

  12. Practice With Graphs • Please study the graphs that you have and answer the questions. • Then we will discuss the your answers.

  13. Make your own….. • Now that you have had time to interpret graphs, I would like you to make your own graphs. • Remember to read the information carefully and label everything!
