Unit 1, Lesson 7
Answer Questions about Scaled Bar Graphs
Grade 3
Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to solve one-step “how many more?” and “how many fewer?” problems based on data presented in a scaled bar graph.
Lesson Narrative
In grade 2, students solved simple Put Together, Take Apart, and Compare problems using data represented in a single-unit scaled bar graph.
In this lesson, students solve one-step Compare problems using data represented in scaled bar graphs.
- Representation
- MLR8
- Explain (orally) strategies used to solve one-step Compare problems within 100 based on data presented in scaled bar graphs.
- Interpret scaled bar graphs and ask (in writing) questions that can be answered by the data in a scaled bar graph.
- Let’s solve problems based on data represented in bar graphs.
