[Link].2 NOTES OF LESSON
GRAPH: A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between variables. Graphs can be used to display data in the
form of lines, bars, areas, or points.
LINEAR GRAPH: A linear graph is a straight line graph that shows the relationship between two or more quantities. It is a pictorial
representation of a linear equation.

[Link].6 LAB ACTIVITY
To collect, organise and represent the data graphically.
Step 1: Ask a question to the class- how many first cousins do you have?
Step 2: Collect the responses. Suppose the responses are:
6,2,1,3,4,3,2,6,5,6,1,2,3,3,2,3,2,3,2,1,2,4,4,5,2,1,2,3,2,3,2,3,4,1,4,5,4,5,2,1,3,2,1,2,1.
Step 3: Ask the students- Do you find it difficult to identify which student has given which response? (Discuss)
Step 4: Now, we will prepare a table in which the responses are mentioned in front of the student’s name.
From this table we can clearly see the responses of each student. For instance, Ritu has only two cousins whereas
Ramesh has six cousins.
Now ask the following questions from the students –
1. What is the number of students who have the least number of cousins?
2. What is the number of students who have the highest number of cousins?
3. What is the number of students who have no cousins?
4. How many students have cousins more than 3 but less than 6?
The students would have to count for each of the above questions. To avoid any errors, the teacher and the
students should make a frequency distribution table using tally marks for this data.
The students can now discuss the previous questions based on this table and also record other observations.
Step 5: To prepare a better visual representation, we can construct a bar graph for this data using the table.
Step 6
The students will then construct a bar graph for this data which would look as below. The teacher will clear queries
while the students attempt this.
