Types of Graphs Posters
6 posters showing the features and examples of picture graphs, pie charts, line graphs, bar graphs, column graphs and histograms.
Information on posters includes:
Picture Graphs – A picture graph uses symbols and pictures to compare data. A key explains what each symbol means.
Pie Chart – divided into sectors that each represent a proportion of the whole.
Line Graph – A line graph uses points connected by lines to compare changes in data.
Bar Graph – A bar graph uses horizontal bars to compare data. Categories are displayed on the vertical (y) axis and values on the horizontal (x) axis.
Column Graph – A column graph uses vertical bars to compare data. Categories are displayed on the horizontal (x) axis and values on the vertical (y) axis.
Histogram – A histogram shows the distribution of data in a range. Intervals are displayed on the horizontal (x) axis and values on the vertical (y) axis. On a histogram there is no space between the rectangles that display value.

Hi,
My students noticed that the pie graph adds up to 101% not 100%.
Just letting you know.
Thanks.
