Reading a Bar Graph

Why Learn This Skill?

A bar graph presents numerical information in a visual way. Bars of various lengths stand for different quantities. A bar graph lets you see a lot of information in an organized way. Bars may be drawn vertically–up and down–or horizontally–left to right. Labels along the left axis and the bottom axis explain what the bars represent.
