Scaled Picture Graph Each Picture Equals 10

Before handing out the worksheet, briefly introduce the concept with a short oral warm-up or a visual model on the board. Let students work through it independently, using a partner or small group only if they want to talk through their thinking, encouraging them to talk through their thinking: "What strategy are you using? How do you know that is right?" After completing the worksheet, review any missed problems together and discuss the reasoning rather than just the answer. For extra support, let students use manipulatives or draw pictures alongside the written problems. These scaled pictographs worksheets work well as daily practice, homework, or a focused review activity.

Read a picture graph of fair tickets sold where each ticket stands for 10 and answer 4 questions up to 260. In a picture graph, the key shows the scale: how many each picture stands for. Count the pictures, then use the scale to find how many. The directions on the page read: Read the picture graph and its key. Each ticket stands for 10 tickets. Then, answer each question on the line. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade data & graphing, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with scaled pictographs. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

In a scaled pictograph, each symbol represents more than one item (e.g., each star = 4 votes), so students must multiply the count of symbols by the scale value to find actual totals.

Reading each category requires multiplying the number of pictures by the key value - giving students a concrete, visual multiplication task embedded in a data context.

Yes - 3.MD.B.3 explicitly requires students to draw and solve problems using scaled picture graphs and bar graphs, making this a tested and essential 3rd grade skill.

CCSS 3.MD.B.3 asks 3rd graders to draw scaled picture graphs and scaled bar graphs and to solve one and two step how many more and how many less problems from them. CCSS 3.MD.B.4 adds measuring lengths to the nearest half and quarter inch and showing the data on a line plot.

Read the key first. If one ticket stands for 10, then 7 tickets stand for 70. Half a picture stands for half the key, so with a key of 2, half a book is 1 book.

A two step problem needs two operations, such as adding the minutes for Tuesday and Thursday, adding the minutes for Monday and Wednesday, then subtracting to find how many more. Writing down the first answer before the second step keeps the work clear.

Yes. All 27 3rd grade data and graphing sheets have an answer key.
