Create Bar Graphs: what children learn

Making a bar graph turns numbers into bar heights. Each bar has to reach exactly the right number on the side.

Create Bar Graphs: worked example

Cats: 3, Dogs: 7, Birds: 5 A bar for Cats up to 3, for Dogs up to 7, and for Birds up to 5

Each bar goes up to its own number: a short bar for Cats, a tall bar for Dogs, and a middle bar for Birds.

Create Bar Graphs: a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes draw all the bars the same height.

Create Bar Graphs: how to help at home or in class

Sort a handful of coins, blocks or buttons by color, then count each group. Color in one square on grid paper for every item, stacking the squares upward to form the bar. Read the finished graph back to check that each bar matches its count. When your child draws bars to the exact right heights without erasing, try making and reading line plots.
