Here you will find four different graphs and charts for you to consider. Maybe it will help explain what you are trying to show. Use homework problems, things you have a special interest in, or use some of the numbers you find elsewhere on this site.
Have fun! Looking to do even more with graphs? Try the new Create A Graph! NCES Kids' Zone: Create a Graph Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually. For this reason, graphs are often used in newspapers, magazines and businesses around the world. NCES constantly uses graphs and charts in our publications and on the web.
Write down the information under Enrollment by Grade, recording how many students are in each grade. Then go to the Create-A-Graph and use the information you recorded to make your own graph showing how many students are in each grade at your school. What is the best graph to use? Try using different kinds of graphs.
Close Window. NCES Kids' Zone Test Your Knowledge The document provides an interface for creating and previewing graphs related to education statistics. Users can modify the graph through various tabs and have options to print or save their work.
It also includes features for comparing data and accessing educational resources. The NCES Kids' Zone provides information to help you learn about schools; decide on a college; find a public library; engage in several games, quizzes and skill building about math, probability, graphing, and mathematicians; and to learn many interesting facts about education. In this graph, the source tells us that we found our information from the NCES Common Core of Data.
X-Axis Bar graphs have an x-axis and a y-axis. In most bar graphs, like the one above, the x-axis runs horizontally (flat). Sometimes bar graphs are made so that the bars are sidewise like in the graph below.
In this graph, the source tells us that we found our information from the NCES. Y-Axis In area graphs, the y-axis runs vertically (up and down). Typically, the y.
For line graphs and area graphs, you will be asked to select a background color for your graph, the color you want the grid lines to be, the number of grid lines you want (how many segments do you want the y-axis separated into), whether you want the graph to be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional, and where you want the legend for your graph to be. The Kids' Zone contains features such as a dice game that helps students learn about probability and statistics, links to online tools where students can find information on their school, and a graph creation tool. According to the graph above, which element forms the second greatest portion of the earth's crust? Oxygen Silicon Aluminum Iron.
