About This Worksheet

This hard-level worksheet contains 15 problems designed for 3rd Grade students practicing bar graphs. Hard worksheets feature challenging problems including multi-step questions, missing values, and real-world applications to push students further.

Scaled bar graphs introduce the concept of a scale — a key mathematical idea used in maps, models, and proportion. Reading and creating scaled graphs develops data literacy and multiplicative thinking simultaneously.

  • Read scaled bar graphs where each unit represents more than one
  • Solve one- and two-step problems using data from bar graphs
  • Create a scaled bar graph from a data set
  • Determine an appropriate scale for a given data set before graphing
  • Compare categories using the difference between bar heights on a scaled graph
