Understanding Picture Graphs and Data

Mrs. Walker teaches how to represent data using picture graphs. The lesson reviews organizing data with tables and introduces picture graphs as an alternative. Students learn to create and label picture graphs, add data using a legend, and analyze the graphs by asking comparison questions. The lesson also covers horizontal picture graphs and creating new graphs with different data sets. Students are encouraged to practice independently and save their work for future lessons.
