Guide
This studio covers bar charts (Years 2–4), line graphs (Year 5) and choosing a suitable chart.
Charts are drawn left to right, with the value axis on the left going up.
To build a chart, drag a bar or point up and down with your finger, or use the arrow keys.
A bar chart compares several groups. A line graph shows how one thing changes over time. When the value axis does not start at 0, we draw a break mark on it.
