Grade 3

What is a chart?

chart

A drawing that shows information in a way that is easy to read, such as a bar chart or a pictograph.

For example

A chart of the week's rainfall shows Tuesday was the wettest day.

In Grade 3

Children build bar charts from real counts before they read charts made by other people.

Watch out for

Children often compare bars without looking at the numbers up the side. Two charts can look alike but mean very different amounts.

Say it at home

Look at any chart together and ask which is biggest, and by how much.
