Yr11, Yr12, Yr13 - Skills - How to construct graphs

Thanks to Darron Gedge for putting the great videos on YouTube which explain brilliantly how to construct various different graphs. Very useful practice for the Skills paper.


Climate Graphs

Scatter Graphs

A Line Graph

A Percentage Bar Graph

A Bar Graph

Positive Negative Bar Graph

Level 3 - Triangular graphs

Some advice and guidance on how to use and interpret these graphs.

These types of graphs are great for comparing three components (things/factors) influence or strength.

Each component needs to be in a percentage. (out of 100)

Each axis is divided into 100 and lines are draw across  from one side to the other to carry the values of each component.

The position of the dot on the graph indicates which component (thing/factor) has the greatest influence or strength.

The graph above shows the employment structure in various different countries. (The percentage of people who work in Agriculture, Services and Industry).

In Myanmar the majority of the population work in Agriculture and less that 10 % work in Services and Industry.

In Malaysia 50% of the population work in Services, 23% in Industry, and the rest in Agriculture.

Yr11, Yr12, Yr13 - Skills Revision - Graphs

Every skills paper will require you to both construct and interpret graphs. So you need to make sure that you can do both!

There are some great YouTube videos about constructing graphs and the links below take you to some good websites with helpful instructions on both interpreting and constructing graphs.

This video explains Climate Graphs which tend to come very often at all levels!
