From counting to data
Graphs start with counting, then turn the counts into something you can compare at a glance. These sheets do both on one page, then ask questions that need the graph to answer.
Talk about the graph
Ask which bar is tallest and how they can tell without counting, and what a new picture would do to the graph.
In the MATATAG curriculum
- KinderShowing information with pictographs, pictures and drawings.
- Grade 1Collecting data with a simple interview, then showing it in a pictograph without a scale and in a table.
- Grade 2Pictographs with a scale, where one picture stands for more than one.
- Grade 3Tables and single bar graphs, horizontal and vertical.
One square for each picture makes these sheets a pictograph without a scale, the Grade 1 kind. Pictographs with a scale (Grade 2) and bar graphs (Grade 3) are not part of this maker.
Grade 1 children collect their own data through a short interview. After the sheet, ask the class a question such as their favourite fruit (mangga, saging, pinya or bayabas) and build a class pictograph together.
