First week reading


Using statistical charts to analyze data and turn data In pictures, people can read the original data faster through visual symbols. Comparing charts present the statistical charts to improve people's understanding of data.

One of the most important conclusions I've learned in two chapters is that any chart, no matter how well designed, can mislead us if we don't pay attention. If we want to read the graph well, we have to pay attention to the nature of the content of the chart. In a nutshell, a figure is a way of turning symbols into language.

The core element of most charts is its visual coding. My favorite graph is bar graph. The reason is that most people know the bar graph and can understand what it means. The bar graph is very straightforward and gives us accurate information — the number of different lengths used in the bar statistics. Then the bar in a particular order. It's easy to see how many there are in the bar chart, so I think kids can understand that.
