Spreadsheets and graphs are used to show information in a way that is visual and can be easily understood. Spreadsheets calculate data automatically for you. The graphs are a way to visually data that you want. There are different types of charts/graphs used. These charts are pie, bar, and line. You would usually use a pie chart to show percentages, an example would be if you wanted to show the religions of the people in a county. You would use a bar graph to compare information, an example would be comparing how many boys and girls played a game and who had the highest scores. You would use a line graph to show data over a period of time, an example would be showing shoe sales over the month. A diagram is used to present useful data in a more visual way that is easier to learn from. It is sometimes better to show information as a graphic than in numbers or word, because it can be remembered easily and it won’t appear as overcrowded things to look at and try to figure out. You could use a pie chart outside of school to present data such as how many people of each race live in a county. Basically the overall view on graphs and charts is that they are used to be more visual and to make sure things don’t appear sloppy on your spreadsheet.
