Read Scaled Bar Graphs: what children learn
On a scaled bar graph the side numbers count by 2s, 5s or 10s, so a bar must be read against the lines. When a bar stops halfway between two numbered lines, the value is half a step more.
Read Scaled Bar Graphs: worked example
A bar graph counts by 5s. The bar for Cats stops at the line marked 20. How many cats are there? 20
The bar ends at the line marked 20, so there are 20 cats.
Read Scaled Bar Graphs: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes read the bar as 1, 2, 3 lines high instead of using the numbers on the side.
Read Scaled Bar Graphs: how to help at home or in class
Tape a number line up the side of a sheet, counting by 5s, and have your child say the labels before any bar appears. Then lay a straight edge across the top of each bar so it points at the number on the side. When a bar stops halfway between two lines, ask what number sits in the middle. Ready when no bar is read as a count of lines.
