About this resource

Description

This Fundraiser Graphing Worksheet helps 3rd graders read a scaled bar graph about something every class understands: raising money for a field trip. In this fundraiser graphing worksheet, each square on the graph stands for five dollars, so students must skip count by fives to find the value of every bar before they can answer a single question.

Students study a printed bar graph that shows how much money a class raised by selling cookies, juice, plants, books and popcorn. They read individual bars, find the item that raised the most and the least money, compare two items, spot the two items that raised the same amount and add every bar to find the class total. A two-step question asks how much more money the class still needs to pay for the trip. The last item asks students to explain a classmate’s scale mistake in their own words. Hand it out after a lesson on scaled graphs or use it as a quick check.

What’s Included

  • A printed bar graph of a class fundraiser scaled by fives
  • Seven read, compare, total and two-step questions
  • One explain-the-mistake writing item about the graph’s scale
  • A complete answer key for fast checking

Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

First, it builds the habit of checking a graph’s scale before reading it, a skill students need for every chart they meet. Second, the two-step question connects graph reading to real addition and subtraction with money. Third, explaining a classmate’s mistake helps students say why a scale matters, which deepens their understanding of data.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Have students make their own fundraiser bar graph with a scale of two or ten and trade it with a partner. Ask them to write two new questions about the graph for a classmate to solve. Talk about a real school fundraiser and estimate how many items the class would need to sell to reach a goal. This 3rd grade graphing worksheet works well in a math center, for homework or as a review before a data test.
