Lesson 25 — Graphing


One of the big challenges in living on your own is keeping track of where your money is spent. Sometimes, just looking at numbers doesn't give you a really good idea of your costs and spending habits, so it helps to look at a picture that shows the same information. When we put math information into a picture, we call it a graph.

In this lesson, you will learn the parts of a graph, different types of graphs, how to read a graph, how to make a graph, and how to use a graph to help make a decision.
