Use this double-sided bar graphs worksheet to check your students’ understanding of interpreting and drawing bar graphs.
Bar Graph Worksheet — Interpret and Create Bar Graphs
This double-sided worksheet requires Sixth Grade students to analyze and construct bar graph data displays. They will answer eight questions relating to two sample bar graphs, and create two bar graphs of their own. An answer key is provided for easy marking!
Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:
- Math center or guided group
- lesson exit ticket
- fast finisher activity
- homework assignment
- whole-class review (via smartboard)
To make this worksheet more of a challenge for students who are waiting for others to finish, edit the worksheets in Google Slides to create more challenging graphs to that skip count on more advanced intervals.
For students who need additional support, edit the file to only include whole-number increments and alter the questions to only result in whole-number/single-interval answers.
