 Why do bar charts have gaps?
The type of data we draw a bar chart for is:
Bar Chart showing the number of pets each
Discrete Data student in a Year 7 class owned

This type of data has

distinct values. Only
particular values are Frequency
possible. We use
gaps to show each
group is separate.

Can you think of any

more examples of
discrete data? Number of pets owned

Good Bar Chart? Bad Bar Chart?

Its time to test your knowledge of drawing graphs to pick

out what is missing from the Bar charts I will show you.

On your whiteboards, use BLAST to help you and write down

anything that is missing. (There could be more than one thing).
