In today’s information-dense and technical society, we are presented with a wide variety of numerical information. This lesson is designed to teach you four of the most common ways that newspapers and other media represent numeric data: Pie Graphs, Bar Graphs, Line Graphs, and Histograms. You will learn not only how to create them, but also the tricks to presenting information in a way that supports the agenda you have. If you know the tricks, you will be able to analyze visual information given to you much more closely. This lesson also includes two other visual ways to represent data that are more mathematically oriented and appear less often in popular culture. These are Venn Diagrams and graphs of functions.
