Bar Charts - Worksheet

The Teacher-of-Primary.co.uk website offers a series of Bar Chart Worksheets designed to help students interpret and use bar charts effectively. The first worksheet presents a scenario where students must deduce information from a bar chart that shows how many bananas Malcolm the monkey consumed each day of the week. Questions range from identifying the quantity of bananas eaten on specific days to comparing the amounts across different days. Additionally, students are challenged to evaluate a statement made by Doris regarding Malcolm's banana intake and to identify any potential errors in her claim.

The subsequent worksheets continue to develop students' skills in analysing bar chart data. One worksheet involves completing a bar chart based on given information about car colours in a multi-storey car park, with a series of questions to answer thereafter. Students must determine the most and least popular car colours, calculate the difference in numbers between colours, and total the number of parked cars. Another worksheet invites students to create a bar chart from a table showing Class 3's favourite holiday destinations, considering the most appropriate scale to use. Additionally, students read a bar chart to find out how long each child spent on their homework one evening. Lastly, they are tasked with deciding whether a bar chart or pictogram would better represent the expenditure of the Hamchester Philharmonic Orchestra on instruments, justifying their choice based on the suitability of the scale and the practicality of symbol usage in a pictogram for large numbers.
