Graphs are pictures that help us understand amounts. These amounts are called data. There are many kinds of graphs, each having special parts. A circle graph is shaped like a circle. It is divided into fractions that look like pieces of pie, so sometimes a circle graph is called a pie graph. Many times the fractional parts are different colors and a key explains the colors. A bar graph uses bars to show data. The bars can be vertical (up and down), or horizontal (across). The data can be in words or numbers. A picture graph uses pictures or symbols to show data. One picture often stands for more than one vote so a key is necessary to understand the symbols. A histogram is a special kind of bar graph. The data must be shown as numbers in order. A line graph shows points plotted on a graph. The points are then connected to form a line.

Are a line graph and bar graph the same?

No, a line graph and a bar graph are not the same. A line graph is used to show trends or changes over time by connecting data points with lines, while a bar graph uses bars of different lengths to represent different categories or values. Line graphs are ideal for displaying continuous data, while bar graphs are better suited for comparing discrete categories.
