Students read scaled bar graphs and pictographs by first applying the key to calculate correct values. Part A asks them to fix three incorrect sentences about graph data, such as wrong totals or incorrect key values. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions where students multiply symbol counts by the key. Part C presents three true-or-false statements about bar heights and what a pictograph key means.
This sheet builds the core habit of reading the key before attempting any calculation.

Bar Graphs and Pictographs
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The bar graph shows Bananas sold = 20.
Rewrite: The bar graph shows Bananas sold = 15.
2. Fix the sentence:
The pictograph uses a key where each symbol equals 1 pet.
Rewrite: The pictograph uses a key where each symbol equals 2 pets.
3. Fix the sentence:
Red received 10 more votes than Yellow.
Rewrite: Red received 5 more votes than Yellow.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If each star symbol stands for 2 points, then 5 stars means 10 points.
2. The day with the tallest bar on the graph sold the most books.
3. A pictograph key says each smiley face equals 5 students. Three smiley faces means 15 students.
4. On a bar graph where each grid line equals 5, a bar reaching the third line shows 15.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. In a pictograph where each symbol equals 2, four symbols represent 8 items.
True False
2. A bar that reaches 20 is shorter than a bar that reaches 15.
True False
3. The key on a pictograph tells you how much each symbol is worth.
True False
