Practice Drawing Bar Graphs and Pictographs With Our Graphing Worksheet!

Are your students learning how to read and draw scaled graphs in math? While they may have learned how to read single-unit graphs, this resource aims to have students practice this skill with scaled intervals. Students will use their skip counting skills to draw an accurate graph that reflects the data table.

This double-sided worksheet will give students an opportunity to practice making bar graphs and pictographs with scaled intervals. Students will read the data on the right-hand side, look at the key, and complete each graph.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Guided math groups 
• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

 Fast finishers can create their own frequency table with data. Students can then choose to create a bar graph or pictograph using the data.  

If students need support with the content, you can choose to limit which type of graph they should complete. A single-unit interval worksheet is also available for students who may need an easier version.
