Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about something really cool called bar graphs. Bar graphs help us see information clearly and make it easy to compare different things. Let’s dive into a fun adventure with aliens and their heights using bar graphs!
Our bar graph today shows us the heights of some funny aliens. The aliens’ names are Paul, Sally, Zack, and Omar. On the graph, you can see their names at the bottom and their heights in inches on the side. Each alien has a bar that shows how tall they are.
Let’s find out which alien is the shortest. The heights on the graph start at 57 inches and go up to 62 inches. The shortest alien will have the smallest bar. Let’s look at each alien:
Omar has the shortest bar at 58 inches, so he is the shortest alien. Great job finding Omar!
Now, let’s find out which alien is the tallest. We can see that:
Zack has the tallest bar at 62 inches, so he is the tallest alien. Well done spotting Zack!
Next, let’s see how tall Zack is. By looking at the graph, we can see that Zack is exactly 62 inches tall. Awesome work!
Finally, let’s compare Paul and Sally. We want to know how many inches taller Paul is than Sally. Here’s what we see:
To find out how much taller Paul is, we can count from 59 to 61. There are two inches between them. So, Paul is two inches taller than Sally. You did a fantastic job figuring that out!
You’ve done an amazing job learning about bar graphs and comparing the heights of our funny aliens. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a bar graph expert in no time. See you next time for more fun learning adventures!
Create Your Own Bar Graph: Gather some objects from around your home, like toys, books, or fruits. Count how many of each item you have and create a bar graph to show the numbers. Use crayons or colored pencils to draw the bars on paper. Share your graph with a family member and explain what it shows.
Alien Height Hunt: Imagine you have a group of new alien friends with different heights. Draw a bar graph to represent their heights. Make up names and heights for at least four aliens. Then, ask a friend or family member to find the tallest and shortest alien on your graph. See if they can also compare the heights of two aliens like you did with Paul and Sally!
Height Comparison Game: With a friend or family member, measure the heights of people in your family or toys you have. Create a simple bar graph to compare their heights. Ask questions like, “Who is the tallest?” or “How much taller is one person or toy than another?” This will help you practice using bar graphs to compare real-life data.

Today, we’re going to be looking at bar graphs. Bar graphs are a great way to visualize information clearly. They are super helpful for comparing two different things and for getting information about a single item.
In today’s bar graph, we’re going to look at aliens and their heights. Bar graphs will make it easy to see this information. So, let’s get started with alien math and bar graphs!
**Meet the Funny Aliens**
Use the graph to help you answer the following questions. Check the correct answer.
The first thing I like to do when I see a bar graph is to take a look and notice some details. The first thing I notice are the aliens’ names at the bottom and the cool illustrations above them. The aliens’ names are Paul, Sally, Zack, and Omar. On the left side of the graph, I see their heights in inches, which tells me how tall each alien is.
Each alien has their own bar, so I can see their heights and compare them visually.
Let’s get started with the first question: Which of the aliens is the shortest? The height starts at 57 inches and ends at 62 inches. The shortest alien will be the one with the smallest bar closest to 57.
Looking at each alien:
– Paul is 61 inches tall, so he is not the shortest.
– Sally is 59 inches tall, which is shorter than Paul, but is there anyone shorter?
– Zack is 62 inches tall, making him the tallest, so he is not the shortest either.
– Finally, Omar is 58 inches tall.
From the graph, it’s clear that Omar is our shortest alien at 58 inches. Let’s check the box for Omar.
The next question asks which of the aliens is the tallest. Using the same strategy, we see that Paul is 61 inches tall, and Sally is 59 inches tall, so Paul is taller. However, Zack is at the top of the graph at 62 inches.
Since Omar is only 58 inches tall, we can clearly see that Zack, our green alien, is the tallest. Let’s check Zack’s box.
Question number three focuses on Zack. The question asks how tall Zack is in inches. To find out, we can look at the bar and see where it matches up on the graph. Zack is exactly 62 inches tall. Let’s check Zack’s box.
Our final question asks us to compare two different aliens: Paul and Sally. The question is, how many inches taller is Paul than Sally?
First, let’s look at Paul’s height: he is 61 inches tall. I’ll write that down. Sally is 59 inches tall, so I’ll write that down too.
To find out how much taller Paul is than Sally, we can count up on the graph from 59 to 61. There are two inches difference between Sally and Paul.
Another way to visualize this is by drawing a number line starting from 59 (Sally’s height) and writing the numbers in order until we reach Paul’s height at 61. We can see that it takes two jumps to reach from 59 to 61, confirming that Paul is two inches taller than Sally.
Great job, everybody! I hope to see you next time. Goodbye!
