Learning Objective
I can explain the information presented in a chart, graph, or table using specific details.
Key Concepts
The four main types of charts and graphs are pie chart, bar graph, line graph, and scattergraph.
When describing data on a graph, an upward trend can be described as increasing or growing, while a downward trend can be described as decreasing or falling.
