Tables and Graphs

In this lesson, you will learn about "tables and graphs," one of the most important topics in using data. The goal is not simply to memorize words, but to be able to explain the principles and reasons in your own words.

Key Point
Bar graphs are suitable for comparing sizes, line graphs for changes over time, and pie charts for showing the breakdown of a whole.
Important Points
  • Check not only the conclusion but also the reason for it
  • Distinguish similar terms and exceptions
  • Try applying the same way of thinking to other examples

Practice

  1. Explain the key point in two sentences.
  2. Give one common misunderstanding and explain what is different about it.
  3. Check it by applying it to a familiar or specific example.
