Different graphs are good for different jobs! Today we’ll learn how to choose the best graph for any data so our information is clear and easy to understand.

1. Graph Choice Guide

Bar Graph
Use when: Comparing categories (e.g. favourite colours, number of students in each class)
Best for: One group of data
Double Bar Graph
Use when: Comparing two groups side by side (e.g. boys vs girls favourite sports)
Best for: Two groups
Line Graph
Use when: Showing change over time (e.g. temperature during a week, growth of a plant)
Best for: Trends and changes
Pie Chart (Circle Graph)
Use when: Showing parts of a whole (e.g. how you spend your allowance, favourite fruits in class)
Best for: Percentages and proportions
