Common Core for Grade 3
Videos, examples, solutions, and lessons to help Grade 3 students learn to draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
Common Core: 3.MD.3
Suggested Learning Targets
- I can make a scaled picture graph or bar graph with several categories to represent data (e.g., one square or picture represents 5 objects).
- I can read and interpret scaled bar graphs in order to solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems.
3.MD.3 - Picture Graphs or Pictographs
This video explains how to read and interpret a pictograph. It’s all about KEY information. This video illustrates the concept behind picture graphs in the Common Core standard 3.MD.3.
A pictograph is a graph that compares categories to each other using pictures.
How to make a scaled picture graph with several categories to represent data?
A picture graph displays data using symbols or pictures to represent the numbers.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph is a graph that compares amounts in each category to each other using bars. If you’ve ever been curious or confused about how to read and interpret a bar graph, then watch this video. This video addresses 3.MD.3 in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
A bar graph compares amounts in categories to each other using bars.
The bars do not touch.
The scale is the value of each line on the y-axis.
