Column Graph Worksheet — Interpret and Create Column Graphs

This double-sided worksheet requires Grade 5 students to analyse and construct column graph data displays. They will answer eight questions relating to two sample column graphs, and create two column 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:

• maths rotation 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.
