This is a line graph with two lines. One is a ''solid'' line (3). The other is a ''broken'' line (4) - you can use this if you can't use different colors. A ''dotted'' line (number 5) is often used to show projections into the future. | |||

Quite often there is a graph a table or a chart. Here we can learn to
- understand
- analyse and
- interpret
these charts.
Type of charts
- A line chart shows changes over a period of time, showing data and trends.
- A (vertical or horizontal) bar chart is used to compare different items.
- A pie chart displays the size of each part as a percentage of a whole.
- A table is a convenient way to show a large amount of data in a small space.
- A diagram is a drawing showing arrangements and situations, such as networks, distribution, fluctuation ...
- A flow chart is a diagram that represents a workflow or process. A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm,
Can you find the matching pairs?
Can you find the correct terms?
This is a line graph with two lines. One is a solid line (3). The other is a broken line (4) - you can use this if you can't use different colors. A dotted line (number 5) is often used to show projections into the future.
- The horizontal x-axis (2) shows often the timeline.
- the vertical y-axis (1) has got a scale (6) with units.
