Grade 1 · Unit 8: Data representation and interpretation

Interpreting data

Read a graph to answer questions.

In the monsoon it rains on many days.

Weather watch

A class counted the rainy days each week in the monsoon. They made a graph. Now they can interpret it – work out what it tells them.

Reading the graph

Week 3 had the most rainy days: 7. Week 1 had the least: 3. Read the number at the top of each bar.

Comparing bars

How many more rainy days in Week 3 than Week 1? 7 − 3 = 4. We can compare bars by finding the difference.

Asking good questions

Look at this pictograph about getting to school. How many children walk? How many come by rickshaw? What else can you find out?
