Abstract:
This paper will report some of the findings of a study of grade four and grade six students' understanding of the information conveyed by bar graphs. The total study examined the effects of various characteristics of graphical displays on students' ability to read, interpret, and predict from such displays, and discusses the results within Davis's Frame Theory.
