2nd grade math · Unit 10: Data

Reading a pictograph

What this lesson shows

Each book picture stands for 5 books. 4 pictures are 20 books.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: apples 20, bananas 10, grapes 15, key 5. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Read the key
  2. Count by fives
  3. The last count is the row

Helping at home

Read the key first: it says how many each picture stands for. Count each row by that many, 5, 10, 15, not by ones.

If your kid gets stuck

Read the key first.
