Bar chart
A bar chart is a picture that shows information in a very clear and easy-to-understand way. It's like looking at pictures of different kinds of candy in a jar, but instead, we look at bars of different heights to understand information, like how many candy pieces are there in each jar.
Imagine that your mom wants to know which fruit you like the most. You can make a bar chart to show her. First, you will need to draw a big paper with a line going up and down and another line going from left to right. The line going up and down is called the y-axis, and the one going from left to right is called the x-axis.
Next, put the names of the fruits on the x-axis below, and on the y-axis, you can write numbers to show how many times you choose a certain fruit. You can start at 0 and count all the way up to your highest number.
For example, you might write "apple," "banana," "orange," and "grapes" on the x-axis. Then, you may have chosen apple 4 times, banana 2 times, orange 1 time, and grapes 3 times, so you would draw a bar for each fruit that goes to the right number on the y-axis.
Finally, color or shade each bar differently so that it's easy to tell one from the other. This way, anyone can look at your bar chart and see that you like apples the most because your apple bar is the tallest. It's like finding the tallest candy jar in the store.
