Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
Reading tables and pictographs is the foundational data-interpretation skill of grades 2-3 – the first time students extract numbers from an organized display instead of from a word problem. This worksheet builds the skill in three short sections using two age-appropriate data sets a teacher could collect in class on the same morning.
Section A uses Mrs. Lee’s class favorite-fruit tally (apples 6, bananas 4, grapes 5, oranges 3, strawberries 2). Eight questions practice the full range of reading-tables skills: find a specific value, find the most, find the fewest, sum, and compare. Section B switches to a pictograph where each book picture stands for 2 books and asks similar questions about Ms. Park’s reading log – including the central pictograph skill of multiplying pictures by 2 to find the actual count.
Section C is three word problems on their own page that combine the two data sets and the pictograph-scale idea (what if the row had 7 book pictures instead of the printed number?). Each data table acts as the reference for the section that follows it, which is the standard data-interpretation pattern. Page 4 is a compact answer key.
How to Use This Lesson
Read the favorite-fruit tally aloud; have a student name the most-popular and least-popular fruit before starting Section A.
Do Section A items 1-4 together as a class; items 5-8 independently.
Before Section B, emphasize the scale: each book picture stands for 2 books, so 4 pictures = 8 books.
Section B is independent; circulate to catch students who forget to multiply by 2.
Section C word problems can be done in pairs; share strategies for the scaled-pictograph problem (item 2).
