Reading Bar Graphs in Grade 1

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: Reading and comparing values on a horizontal or vertical bar graph.

1

A graph shows apples, bananas, and grapes. The apple bar is 2 squares tall, the banana bar is 4 squares tall, and the grape bar is 3 squares tall. Which fruit has the tallest bar?

2

Using the same graph, how many squares tall is the grape bar?

3

Which fruit has the shortest bar in that graph?

4

A graph shows cats and dogs. The cat bar is 5 squares tall and the dog bar is 3 squares tall. How many more squares tall is the cat bar than the dog bar?

5

In the same cat and dog graph, which animal has fewer votes?

6

A simple graph shows three children's sticker counts. Mia has 3, Leo has 6, and Sam has 4. Which child has the most stickers?

Grown-up guide
  1. Read each question aloud, point to the graph one bar at a time, and ask the child to count the squares before choosing an answer.
