Teaching Guide: Graphs and Charts from Grade 3 to Grade 8
Reading and drawing charts is the heart of data handling at school and one of the skills PISA assesses: understanding what a chart says, comparing data and drawing conclusions. This free statistical charts worksheet generator creates A4 worksheets with pictograms, bar charts, line graphs, pie charts and frequency tables, with new data every time and an answer key with the finished chart and every answer.
Student worksheet 
Answer key Bar charts
Scales in 1s up to scales with thin lines, and double bar charts to compare two groups and find the mode.
Line graphs
Temperatures, a growing plant, sales and visits: values, rises, the mean and the range, also with two lines and temperatures below zero.
Pie charts
Equal parts and fractions, percentages on a circle marked every 5 % and angles with a printed protractor ring, so no tools are needed.
Frequency tables
Tally charts, frequency and relative frequency, percentages, mode, mean and median.
Answer key
The finished chart, the completed table and every answer with its working, always from the values printed on the sheet.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Statistical Charts Worksheets
Which charts do children learn in primary school?
In grades 3 and 4, pictograms, bar charts and tally charts; in grades 5 and 6, line graphs, pie charts, the mode and the mean. Grades 7 and 8 add relative frequency, the median and pie charts in degrees. Each level of the generator names its grade.
How do you work out the angle of a pie chart slice?
Divide the frequency of the slice by the total and multiply by 360°: angle = f ÷ N × 360°. For example, if 9 out of 36 pupils prefer football, its slice is 9 ÷ 36 × 360° = 90°. At level 3 the sheet has a circle marked every 5° so it can be drawn without a protractor.
What is the difference between the mode, the mean and the median?
The mode is the value that comes up most often, the mean is the total of all the values divided by how many there are, and the median is the middle value once they are in order. The answer key shows the working for each one.
Is the data real?
It is made-up but realistic data (class surveys, temperatures, sales, goals…), generated afresh every time within the rules of each level: every question has one answer, and the highest or lowest value is never shared.
Can I combine the charts with other maths worksheets?
Yes. Add exercises from any generator to the same worksheet, for example maths word problems or fraction operations to practise percentages and fractions. For geography graphs, try the climate graphs. There are more resources in Mathematics.
Is any data sent to a server?
No. The worksheet is created in your browser, and templates are only saved in your browser’s memory.
