Read Bar Graphs: what children learn

Bar graphs turn data into bar heights, and reading them means matching each bar to a number on the side. Questions about totals and differences practice adding and subtracting with the data.

Read Bar Graphs: worked example

A bar graph shows 4 apples and 7 pears. How many more pears than apples are there? 3

7 - 4 = 3, so there are 3 more pears.

Read Bar Graphs: a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes read the number from the wrong bar, or read the label instead of the number.

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

Find a bar graph in a book or draw one from a family tally. Have your child put one finger on the top of a bar and slide it straight across to the numbers on the side. Ask for a total, then a difference, and write the number sentence beside the graph. When your child reads the right bar every time, the next skill is drawing graphs.
