Learning intention

Read, create and interpret simple bar graphs.

Learn

A bar graph uses bars of equal width to compare categories. Read the title, category labels, number scale, and key before interpreting a bar.

Worked example

If a bar reaches 6 on a scale counting by ones, the category has a value of 6. Compare bar heights to find differences or totals.

Apples ██████ 6\nPears ████ 4\nOranges ███████ 7

Practice

Summary

Use the scale to read each bar accurately, then compare or combine the values to answer questions.
