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.
