4G’s Steps to Success for producing a
Venn Diagram
- Place information inside the correct section of the diagram
- We have placed correct information in the appropriate intersect region (the area where the two circles meet)
- Circles have been neatly drawn with a pencil
- All circles have been neatly drawn so the overlapping segments are of equal size
- Each circle is labelled (the labels for each circle are outside the circle).
- The diagram has a title which is relevant to the information being shown

Bar Chart
- Look at your data to work out how big your bar graph should be.
- Decide the scale your bar graph will have. This is decided by the biggest and the smallest numbers in your data set.
- In the data from this example, the biggest number is 22; the smallest is 2. In this case, a scale showing multiples of 5 makes creating and reading the graph easier.
- Label the scale on your graph.
- Decide how wide the other axis should be to show all of the type of data (5 colours in this case). Label this axis of your graph.
- Draw the rectangles the right length to represent the data. Pick a good width for the data bars, each bar should be the same width. Colour coding can make a graph easier to read.
- Give your graph a title.
4G’s Steps to Success for producing a
Pictograph
- Examine the data
- Draw a grid
- Create a title for the pictograph. Write it above the grid.
- Make up a symbol that will represent a specific number of ‘items’. For the example below we used a football – each football represents 10 students .
- Below the graph write a Key (for example : stands for 10 students).
- To finish the pictograph, you count each data set and insert the symbols into the pictograph.
- In our example below 30 students liked football so we inserted 3 football symbols.

4G’s Steps to Success for producing a
Carroll Diagram
- Look at the data
- Think about the best way of sorting the data using a Carroll diagram
- Draw your grid
- What heading / subheadings should each section have?
- Place your data in the correct section of the diagram
- In the example below we worked out that we could classify the numbers as being multiples of 3 and either odd or even.
