Picture Graphs: Count, Compare and Make Your Own

About This Resource

A complete Grade 1 data pack: reading picture graphs with three groups, counting, finding the most and fewest, comparing with how many more, and making a class picture graph. Includes a lesson plan, worksheet, quiz, homework, A5 flashcards, a rubric, editable slides and Word files, and answer keys.

Overview

Young learners read picture graphs about fruit, pets, toys and the weather. They count each group, find which group has the most and the fewest, work out how many more one group has than another, and find how many in all. Then they ask friends a question and make their own picture graph. Every graph answer in the pack is calculated by the generator and checked automatically.

Send the homework survey home and use the A5 flashcards to review the words.

Classroom Use

Sticky-note graph: each student puts a sticky note above their favorite fruit to build a real graph.
Graph walk: hang three graphs on the wall and let pairs answer one question at each.

Differentiation

Support: let students cross off each picture as they count it. Challenge: ask students to write their own "how many more" question for a partner.

The quiz (13 points) checks reading, comparing and totals. The rubric gives four levels for counting, comparing, totals and making a graph.
