 To the Learner

Hi! It’s time for you to learn about bar graphs.

This module will help you.

Let’s Learn This

Reading and interpreting data presented in a bar graph

using the following parts:
a. Title
b. Legend
c. Labels

Let’s Try This

Your previous lessons tell us some information that can be taken

accurately or inaccurately through standard or non-standard means.

1. What will you use to measure the lengths and the widths of an
object?
2. How do you find the weight of an object?
3. How do you find the area of the plane figures like square,
rectangle, parallelogram and triangle?
4. How do you measure the volume of a container?

This time, you will learn another source of information that will
provide data at just one glance by means of bars drawn to scale. We
call this a bar graph.

 Let’s Study This

Study the following situation and the bar graph that illustrates
the information:

Legend: (Source of the data)

The Fort Aguinaldo Elementary School (FAES) will undertake a

Lakbay-Aral Project. Most of the pupils signified to join the field trip.
They are as follows:

Preschool 60 pupils
Grade I 300 pupils
Grade II 275 pupils
Grade III 250 pupils
Grade IV 350 pupils
Grade V 210 pupils
Grade VI 175 pupils
1 620 pupils

Let’s Remember This

A bar graph is a graph which uses horizontal or vertical bars to

represent data.

When a bar graph has bars which extend from left to right, it is
called a horizontal bar graph.

On the other hand, if the bars extends from bottom to top, it is

called a vertical bar graph.

A bar graph uses:

- bar lines to present the data.
- horizontal and vertical lines.
- numbers on the horizontal or vertical
lines.
- numbers presented on a scale of 1’s, 2’s,
5’s, 10’s, 50’s, 100’s, etc. depending
upon the data.

0-3 - You need to repeat the module.
Ask your teacher or elder to help you.

Answer Key

Let’s Try This

1. Use a ruler, meter stick or tape measure.

2. Use a weighing scale.
3. To find the area of the following plane figure.
a. Area of a square is to multiply the side by itself. In short,
A = S x S or S 2

b. Area of a rectangle is to multiply the length by its width.

A = lw

c. Area of a parallelogram is to multiply the base by its

height.
A = bh

d. Area of a triangle is to multiply the base by its height or

altitude then divide it by 2 or get ½ of the base and
height.
A = ½ (bh) or A = bh/2 or A = bh ÷ 2

4. To measure the volume of rectangular containers is to

multiply the length by its width and by its height.
For a cube, multiply its sides three times.
For a cylindrical container, get first the area of the base then
multiply it by its height.
The answer must be specified in cubic unit of measure.
