Reading a scaled picture graph
A scaled pictograph uses a key so one symbol stands for more than one — here, each symbol means 5. Reading it means skip counting by 5s or multiplying, which ties graphing directly to multiplication.
How to use it
Have students count by 5s for each row, then compare and total. Builds on 2nd grade picture graphs and pairs with scaled bar graphs.
👩🏫 Teacher note
With a key of 5, students multiply the number of symbols by 5 (or skip count by 5s). Connect this to multiplication facts.
🏠 Parent note
Each picture means 5, so count by 5s for each row, then compare.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Counting each symbol as 1 instead of 5
- Ignoring a half symbol
Answer Key
The value is given for each question.
