1st grade math · Unit 3: Tally marks and pictographs

Making a pictograph

What this lesson shows

Favorite milk: one picture for each kid, lined up in a row for each flavor.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: chocolate 5, plain 3, strawberry 4. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. A row for each choice
  2. One picture for each kid
  3. Start every row at the left

Helping at home

Give each choice its own row. Draw one face or circle for each kid, starting every row at the left edge, so the rows compare at a glance.

If your kid gets stuck

One picture for each kid.
