These resources were created for remote use during the pandemic and are not designed for classroom teaching.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Data can be presented to make it easier to analyse.
- To compare data it might be possible to represent it on the same set of axes.
- Presenting data on a map can help geographers see spatial patterns.
- All data presentations need to conform to particular standards (such as having keys and labels) to make them readable.
Keywords
Spatial influence - how distance from, or proximity to, a geographical feature influences data
Axis - a line in the structure of a graph against which data is plotted
Independent variable - a variable that the geographer changes
Dependent variable - a variable that changes as a result of changes to the independent variable
Common misconception
It does not matter which aspects of the data are presented on which axis of a graph.
It is a common convention for the independent variable to be read from the x-axis and the dependent variable to be read from the y-axis.
