CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to create side by side graphs.

VOCABULARY

Side by side bar graph: A side by side bar graph is used to compare two different groups or categories side by side. It allows you to see differences and similarities between multiple things.

Analysing the graph means you carefully look at the graph to see any noteworthy information. This could include highs, lows, averages (mean) and most common occurrences (mode).

Facts: A thing that is known or proved to be true.
