CRITIQUING GRAPHS

TASK 1 Don’s graph

Don designed a new type of graph,

which he called Squares Plus. He
arranged dots to create a square and
then put any leftovers on the top line.

What do you think of Don’s design? Can you read the information? Does it give you an overall
picture of what the data is telling? Does it mislead you in any way?
