Handling Data

Bar Charts

Bar charts are one of the most popular ways of displaying data, as they can show large quantities of data in a way that is very easy to read. The bar chart below shows people's favourite desserts.

15

30

45

60

75

90 Example Question 1: How many people in total were asked what their favourite dessert was?

Answer: When we're asked this question, it's time to add up all of the bars to find out how many people were asked altogether.

Use the numbers on the y axis (up the side of the chart) to work out how many people chose each dessert.

75 + 45 + 30 + 15 + 30 + 60 + 15 = 270

Now use the bar chart to answer the questions below.

2. Which two desserts were the most popular? ___________________ and ____________________

3. How many more people chose cheesecake as their favourite dessert than gelato? ___________________

4. If you added the number of people who chose brownie to the number of people who chose mousse, would the answer be more than the number of people who chose cheesecake?

Now use the pictogram to answer the following questions.

2. How many cars parked at the car park? ___________________

3. How many more motorcycles parked than vans? ___________________

4. How many vehicles parked in the car park altogether? __________________

Cheesecake Brownie Gelato Fruit Cake Jelly Mousse

Pictograms

Pictograms (also called 'pictographs') use pictures as a simple way of showing quantities of data. It's important to know the amount that each picture represents.

The pictogram below shows the different types of vehicles that parked in a car park on Friday. One picture represents 12 vehicles.

Vehicle Number of Vehicles

Car

Van

Motorcycle

Example Question 1: How many motorcycles parked in the car park?

Answer: There are 3 and a half pictures in the box for motorcycles, and each picture represents 12 vehicles. Half of 12 = 6, and 3 x 12 = 36.

36 + 6 = 42

Handling Data

Line Graphs

Line graphs can sometimes look complicated, but they're really just another way of recording data. Line graphs

are great at showing how quantities of data change over time.

The line graph below shows the distance travelled by Doris the dog on her weekend walk.

Example Question 1: How far did Doris walk in the first 8 minutes?

Answer: By following the line, we can see that, at 8 minutes, Doris had walked 1200 metres.

Now use the line graph to answer the rest of the questions below.

2. How long did it take Doris to walk 2000 metres? ________________________________

3. Doris stopped for a short break after 10 minutes to get a drink of water. How long did she stop for?

________________________________

4. For how much longer did Doris walk after she finished her water break?

________________________________

5. Estimate how far Doris walked between 4 and 6 minutes.
