3.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
 
  • Bar Graph
    This lesson will help students understand bar graphs by creating and reading them.
  • Histogram
    This activity will help students understand histograms by allowing them to make their own.
  • IXL Game: Interpret Pictographs
    This game helps the third grader draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. This is just one of many online games that supports the Utah Math core. Note: The IXL site requires subscription for unlimited use.
  • Introduction to Bar Graphs
    This lesson is designed to have students practice making bar graphs and interpret those graphs.
