Bar Graphs
Read and interpret bar graphs with different scales, then compare bars and find missing data.
Your child reads bar graphs that stand upright or lie across the page. The first move is always the scale: count the spaces between two numbered lines, divide, and know what one space stands for. Then your child adds paired bars into complete totals, finds a missing bar from a total or from how many fewer, and works out a scale when only zero is labelled. Read the study guide →
About this chapter
These Primary 3 Bar Graphs questions follow the MOE outcomes for the topic: reading and interpreting data from bar graphs, and using different scales on the axis. The chapter covers reading a single bar against its scale, comparing and combining paired bars, and finding a missing bar from a total or a comparison.
Practise by question type: reading a bar graph with a scale, double bar graph questions, bar graph missing data questions and p3 bar graphs mixed practice questions.

Primary 3 Bar Graphs Study Guide
Every bar graph question starts with the scale. Four steps with graphs to tap, from counting spaces to drawing a missing bar, then worked examples and a five-question check.
