This easy worksheet keeps the numbers approachable while pushing third graders to use the key on every step. Students correct misconceptions like "7 symbols at a key of 5 shows 30 items," decide what 8 circles mean when each stands for 5 erasers, and add Red = 15, Blue = 25, and Green = 10 for a grand total. A tricky three-and-a-half-symbol question with a key of 4 shows up in Part B, plus a true-or-false on whether a bar reaching 40 is shorter than one reaching 35.
Steady work here builds confidence reading everyday graphs accurately.

Bar Graphs and Pictographs
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
A pictograph with 7 symbols and a key of 5 shows 30 items.
Rewrite: A pictograph with 7 symbols and a key of 5 shows 35 items.
2. Fix the sentence:
The tallest bar on a graph always shows the least popular choice.
Rewrite: The tallest bar on a graph always shows the most popular choice.
3. Fix the sentence:
Cats = 4 symbols, Dogs = 6 symbols (key = 2). Dogs have 2 more than Cats.
Rewrite: Cats = 4 symbols, Dogs = 6 symbols (key = 2). Dogs have 4 more than Cats.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If each circle on a pictograph stands for 5 erasers, then 8 circles mean 40 erasers.
2. A bar graph shows Juice = 30 and Milk = 30. These two categories are equal.
3. On a pictograph with a key of 4, three and a half symbols equal 14.
4. A bar graph shows Red = 15, Blue = 25, and Green = 10. The total is 50.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A pictograph must always have a key that tells the value of each symbol.
True False
2. On a bar graph, a bar reaching 40 is shorter than a bar reaching 35.
True False
3. You can add up all the bars on a bar graph to find the grand total.
True False
