Reading and creating bar graphs is an essential upper-elementary math skill, and this free printable data & graph word problems worksheet for Grades 5–6 gives students meaningful, age-appropriate practice. Designed to reflect real classroom expectations, this worksheet helps students strengthen both graph interpretation and graph construction skills.
In Part A, students analyze a completed bar graph and answer multi-step questions involving totals, comparisons, and reasoning. In Part B, students create their own bar graphs requiring them to transfer data accurately from tables to graphs.
This worksheet mirrors the types of problems students encounter in upper-elementary classrooms and assessments, making it ideal for teachers, homeschool families, math centers and independent practice. A full answer key is included, featuring completed graphs for easy review and checking.
This free printable includes:
- Bar graph reading and interpretation questions
