Constructing and interpreting line and bar graphs

As a GCSE geographer you will be expected to select, construct, interpret and evaluate a variety of data presentation techniques. One technique you should know about is the use of line and bar graphs

Go to www.hoddereducation.co.uk/wideworldextras for questions on this topic.

Line graphs are used for continuous data to show changes over time. For example, the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country could be plotted over 50 years. You can show multiple sets of data on a line graph, for example GDP for a number of countries over 50 years where each country would be shown by a different line. When describing a line graph you should refer to a trend, which is a change over time.
