Bar graphs are a visual way to display data using rectangular bars. The scale on a bar graph tells us the units being used and how much each bar represents. The labels tell us what each bar is showing. Choosing the right scale is super important so the graph is easy to read and understand. We'll work with reading and interpreting bar graphs with different scales and labels in this worksheet!
