Bar Graphs and Picture Graphs Practice Tests

These Grade 3 Math practice tests help students read and interpret data in bar graphs and picture graphs. Students use labels and keys to find values, totals, differences, and comparisons.

Skills covered

  • Reading values from bars and picture symbols
  • Using a graph key to find the value of one symbol
  • Finding totals and differences
  • Comparing categories and identifying the greatest or least value
  • Solving one-step and two-step data problems
  • Understanding graph titles and category labels

How to use these practice tests

Read the graph title and category labels first. For a picture graph, check the key before counting. Then use addition, subtraction, or multiplication to answer questions about totals, differences, and comparisons.
