Examples of vertical bar graphs for Grade 1

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 📊 Vertical Bar Graph: A way to show information using bars that go up and down.
• 🍎 Axis: The lines that run along the bottom (horizontal axis) and side (vertical axis) of the graph. The horizontal axis often shows what is being compared (e.g., fruits, colors), and the vertical axis shows the number or amount.
• 🔢 Reading a Bar Graph: Look at the top of each bar to see how many of something there are. The height of the bar matches a number on the vertical axis.
• 🌈 Labeling: Graphs need labels! Make sure you know what the bars represent and what the numbers mean.
• ➕ Comparing: Use the graph to see which has more or less of something. Which bar is the tallest? That has the most!
