Five pages of picture graphs with four kinds in each graph, where every picture stands for 1. On page 1 students read a graph of fruit that goes across and write how many of each (the apples are done as an example), then read a graph of zoo animals that goes up, write how many of each, and circle the kind with the most or the fewest. Page 2 has two graphs, party food and balls in the gym, with three questions under each: how many more, how many fewer, how many of two kinds together, how many in all, and how many balls are not basketballs; the first is worked out as an example. On page 3 students make a picture graph from a tally chart of sea animals by drawing one circle in a box for each animal, then answer three questions, one of them in two steps. Page 4 is a garden picture: students count four kinds of vegetables, color one box for each in a graph that goes up (the carrots are colored as an example), and answer three questions. On page 5 one row of a graph is empty: students use the total to find how many oranges and draw them, then read a graph of a class vote and circle true or false for each sentence.
Take a class vote with four choices and build the picture graph together with sticky notes, one note for each child. Read it with put together, take apart and compare questions: how many chose cars or bears, how many did not choose robots, how many more chose rockets than robots? Before page 5, cover one row of the class graph and ask how the total could tell you what is under the cover.
Sort a bag of snacks, a box of crayons or a pile of socks into four kinds and line each kind up in a row. Ask how many of each, how many in all, how many more of one kind than another, and how many are not red.

A 5-page picture graph pack for 2nd grade, with four kinds in every graph and each picture standing for 1. Read a graph of fruit that goes across and a graph of zoo animals that goes up, write how many of each, and circle the most and the fewest. Answer put together, take apart and compare questions from graphs of party food and gym balls: how many more, how many fewer, how many in all and how many are not one kind. Make a picture graph from a tally chart of sea animals, and one from a garden picture by counting the vegetables and coloring a box for each. Then use the total to find a graph's missing row, and decide whether sentences about a class vote are true or false. Every page comes in color and in black and white. Answer keys included.
