How to solve Grade 3 data & graphs problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

Example 1
Favorite Snacks
How many fewer students chose yogurt than pretzels?
1. The yogurt bar ends at the line for 14. The scale counts by 2s, so that is 7 steps of 2: 7 × 2 = 14.
2. The pretzels bar ends at the line for 18. The scale counts by 2s, so that is 9 steps of 2: 9 × 2 = 18.
3. Subtract to compare: 18 − 14 = 4. So 4 fewer students chose yogurt than pretzels.
Answer: 4
Example 2
Shell Lengths
Each X is one shell.
How many shells are longer than 3 inches?
1. Greater amounts are to the right of 3 on the number line (do not count the X’s at 3 itself).
2. X’s to the right: 3 1/2 → 3, 4 1/2 → 1, 5 → 3.
3. Add them: 3 + 1 + 3 = 7. So the answer is 7.
Answer: 7

Which has the most?
1. Read the number for every bar: sunny days 11, rainy days 15, cloudy days 7, snowy days 2.
2. The greatest number is 15: it is more than 11, 7, 2.
3. 15 belongs to rainy days, so rainy days has the most.
Answer: rainy days
