About this worksheet

Scientists use bar graphs to compare measurements. The height of each bar shows a number, and reading the graph carefully makes it possible to find one value, the biggest and smallest values, and how much one bar differs from another, or the total of two bars. On this fifth grade sheet a child studies one bar graph of Earth science data, such as rainfall by month or water used by activity, and writes the number that answers each of eight questions.

Each version has a different graph, and the answer key gives every answer.

What your child will learn

Read the height of a bar
Find the greatest and least values
Find how much more one bar is than another
Add two bars together

NGSS standard: 5-ESS2-1

Worked example

If the bar for March reaches 6 and the bar for June reaches 2, March is 6 − 2 = 4 more than June.

Common mistake

Reading the label of the bar instead of the number its top reaches on the side scale.

Helpful hint

Find the top of the bar, then follow across to the number on the scale.
