# 6.18: Bar Graphs

Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12

Teacher Notes

Students interpret mathematical relationships presented in FACTS and complete bar graphs to match the facts. For each problem, the scale is provided for the vertical axis. Names of people or classes on the horizontal axis are deduced from the facts.

Solutions

Use the FACTS and the bar graph to figure out the grade levels.

Write the grade levels on the lines under the bars.

FACTS

1. There are twice as many grade 1 students as grade 4 students.
2. There are 10 more grade 1 students than grade 3 students.
3. There are half as many grade 5 students as grade 3 students.
4. The total number of student in the 5 grades is 175.
