Block Graph:
Learning objective: Students will be able to represent information in a
block graph and interpret it.
• Representation of collected information with the help of blocks is known
as Block Graph.
• A block graph uses square blocks instead of pictures to show the
information that has been collected.
• A block graph (also known as a block diagram) is a simple way to
present data with coloured squares.
• Each block represents one item or objects.
• The types of each object are written along the bottom of the graph and
the number of each object is written along the side.
Example: The hobbies of a class of 20 students. 5 students like
dancing.3 students like swimming.7 students like reading.5 students like
cooking.
• Let us now make a block graph for the above data.
