Your students will become experts at reading picture graphs (pictographs) in this engaging math lesson from iKnowIt.com! We created this interactive math activity at a first-grade skill level to help students become familiar with reading and interpreting picture graphs. Each math question features a custom picture graph with colorful data sets. Students will be asked a question based on the data in each picture graph. Upon completion of this practice session, students will have gained confidence and proficiency in reading pictographs.
Children will practice a variety of picture graph concepts in this math lesson. For example, they may be shown a picture graph featuring "Weather This Month." The rows of the picture graph may feature a variety of weather options: sun; rain; or snow. Students must decide "How many days had snow?" The word "snow" in the question is accompanied by a snowflake symbol identical to the snowflake symbols children see in the picture graph. If students need help interpreting the picture graph, they can click the "Hint" button. The hint will show a custom pictograph with the symbols in each row labeled with numbers to assist children in counting the items. When students answer incorrectly, the explanation page will show them the correct answer and how to obtain it.
Additional features in this picture graph math activity help students make the most of their math practice session. A progress-tracker on the right-hand side of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered out of the total questions in the lesson. A score-tracker lets them know how many questions they have answered correctly so far. In addition, a speaker icon in the upper left corner of the practice screen can be clicked for the "read aloud" feature. This is a helpful tool for ESL/ELL learners and students who are auditory processors.
