About this worksheet
In a scaled graph, one symbol or one grid step stands for more than one thing. If each circle means 10 votes, 4 circles and a half circle show 40 + 5 = 45 votes. On a scaled bar graph, count by the scale up the side: a bar that ends at the line for 35 on a scale counting by 5s shows 35.
Each version has a picture graph with a key of 2, 5 or 10, a scaled bar graph, and a table of data with a bar graph to finish. The questions ask how many, how many more, how many fewer and how many in all. Every version uses a different scale for each graph, so students cannot count every symbol as 1.
Practice aligned to CCSS 3.MD.B.3.
Before this: single-unit picture graphs and bar graphs. Next: line plots with halves and fourths of an inch. More practice: measurement and data worksheets and 3rd grade math worksheets.
