Welcome back to the new year and my first blog post. I hope you all had a great summer break, personally I am not ready for summer to leave, and the autumn leaves to fall...I love the sun!
So, maths.
It seems simple, but drawing a bar graphs was surprisingly difficult. I had forgotten, or maybe I never knew, how to draw a proper bar graph.
Here is my first attempt.
I know right, not great. I had forgotten so many things, but I did label my axis!
So I now have a checklist;
- Scale starting at 0 and going up equally
- Gaps between the bars, even the y axis
- Labelling my axis
- A detailed title
- The frequency numbers on the lines, not in the squares
- Use a ruler
I tried again and BOOM! my second attempt is so much better!
What do you think? So . much better, eh!
Have you started your math programme yet? What are you learning?
See you next time.
Hi Carolyn, I'm Joe, from Korimako hub. I can see you worked hard on your maths. Your bar graph is easy to read and your blog is interesting. I am working on Data Detectives at home. We have to make a pictograph about fruit and vegetables.
