Bar graphs

Read a bar graph and answer questions, or shade the bars to match a table.

About this worksheet

Choose whether students read a finished graph (how many chose one thing, how many more chose one than another, how many in all) or build a graph by shading each bar to match a table. Bars can stand up or lie sideways, and each line on the graph can count for 1, 2, 5 or 10.

With a scale of 2 or 10 you can allow half steps, so some bars end halfway between two lines. The answer key shows the finished graph or the correct answers, and every version has different numbers.
