Analyze Scaled Bar Graphs: what children learn

Once kids can read each bar, they use the values to solve one-step problems. Adding finds how many in all, and subtracting finds how many more or fewer.

Analyze Scaled Bar Graphs: worked example

On a bar graph, Cats is 30 and Dogs is 20. How many more cats than dogs are there? 10

Subtract the smaller bar from the bigger bar: 30 - 20 = 10.

Analyze Scaled Bar Graphs: a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes add the two bars when the question asks how many more.

Analyze Scaled Bar Graphs: how to help at home or in class

Write more, fewer and in all on three cards. Draw a bar graph, pick a card, and ask your child to write the two bar values as a short number sentence before answering. Then swap, and your child invents a question for you. When your child chooses between adding and subtracting from the question wording alone, graph drawing is next.
