Graphs and Line Plots Worksheets, Bar and Picture Graphs

About this product

The graph question in a lesson can be as simple as asking what one mark is worth. This data pack gives third graders practice reading a bar scale and using a picture-graph key. They look up a category compare two counts and add counts from than one category. Some tasks give a total. Leave one count for students to find.

Next learners use tables as a starting point, for making graphs. The printed axes and category labels help them focus on choosing the height or drawing the right number of marks. One useful classroom check is to have a partner read the completed graph back into a table. If the counts differ look at the scale together. Identify where the difference began.

The last group uses lengths measured in inches. Students read marked ruler diagrams tally repeated half- and quarter-inch measurements and place an X for each value on a line plot. They can check a completed plot by matching the number of X marks to the number of listed measurements. The answer section gives counts by category or measurement so a teacher can see which part of the graph needs another example.
