Analysing a Bar Graph - Basic Concept for 3rd Grade Math
While analysing a bar graph following are the basic hints which need attention;
- The heading or label of the bar graph
- Horizontal and vertical scales and what is represented on which scale
- Intervals on the scales (i.e. counting by ones, twos, ....fives etc)
- Height of bars as compared to the vertical scale
- Highest and shortest bars.
- Bars with equal heights.
Following are the activity sheets I prepared to introduce the concept to 3rd graders;
