How Do You Draw A Bar Chart On A Graph Paper?
1. Find the largest and smallest amounts you have to represent by a bar within your chart. 2. Count the number of centimetre squares on your paper. (I’ll give you a clue; if it’s ruled all the way to the border, there will be twenty-one across and twenty-nine and a bit down.) 3. Decide how wide to make each bar; this will depend on how many bars you have to fit into the space available. 4. Decide how many units each vertical centimetre of each bar will represent; this will depend on the largest amount if you are starting from zero at the bottom, or the difference between the largest and smallest amounts otherwise. 5. Draw your bar chart.
