Topic Overview

Definitive Answer: Students will organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories using actual objects, pictures, and bar graphs.

Have you ever wanted to show how many of something you have, like your favorite snacks? ??? We can *sort* them into groups and then use a *picture graph* to tell a story with pictures! Each picture will stand for just one yummy snack. Imagine you have these snacks: ????????.

Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1: Let's count our snacks: ????????. How many of each snack do we have, and how can we show it with pictures?
  1. First, let's *sort* them! Count all the apples ?: 1, 2, 3 apples. Count all the oranges ?: 1, 2 oranges. Count all the bananas ?: 1, 2, 3 bananas.
  2. Now, let's make our *picture graph*! For each apple, draw an apple. For each orange, draw an orange. For each banana, draw a banana. Make sure each picture lines up nicely!
✓ Answer: You drew 3 apples, 2 oranges, and 3 bananas! Your picture graph tells us exactly how many of each snack you have.
