A bar graph of a class vote, with a scale that counts in twos, so some bars end halfway between two lines. Six questions follow: how many children voted for two of the choices, which one got the most votes, how many more voted for one than another, how many fewer, and how many voted in all. Reading the scale first, then going across from the top of each bar to the number, is the skill third graders need for every graph. Page 2 is the answer key.

Tips for this measurement worksheet
- Read the scale first: each line here is 2.
- A bar that stops between two lines is the odd number in between.
- For “how many more”, take the smaller number from the bigger one.
Page 2 of the PDF is the answer key. Make your own graph afterwards: vote on something at home or in class and draw it. When this sheet feels easy, move on to the area and perimeter worksheet and the third grade math worksheets. See all measurement worksheets.
