What students practice
Students read and make pictographs where one symbol stands for more than one, read and draw bar graphs whose bars always end on a grid line, and read and make whole-number dot plots. Later pages ask how many more, how many fewer, and how many in all in one and two steps, match a table to its graph, choose a key or scale that fits the data, and finish with students writing and answering their own question about a graph.

Think: each diamond is 2 votes, so 7 diamonds is 7 × 2 = 14 votes.

Who it's for
Grade 3 classes on the data element, and families who want graph reading that leans on multiplication facts: a pictograph key of 2, 5, or 10 turns every row into a fact to use. There are no half symbols to read.
