You want to create a graph that shows your height over a 12-month period. What type of graph will you use? Why?

• A line graph because you can put the data points on the graph and see how much you grew over a 12-month period.

• Both a line and bar graph would be appropriate because both graphs would be able to show your height over a 12-month period.

• A circle graph because we will be able to easily see your height over a 12-month period.

• A bar graph because the bars will make it very easy to see how you grow over the months.
