This document provides instructions and examples for creating and interpreting a multi-bar graph. It includes the key features needed for a multi-bar graph, such as a title, labeled axes, equal spacing, and a key. An example multi-bar graph compares life expectancy in different countries. Another multi-bar graph shows the percentage of populations from Western Samoa, Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau living in their home country, Auckland, or the rest of New Zealand. Learners are asked to create their own multi-bar graph and write sentences analyzing the data presented.
