About this worksheet

A picture graph shows how many by using small pictures, each standing for one thing, so a taller column means more. Reading one is a second grade skill, and so is using the numbers to answer questions: which has the most, which has the fewest, how many more, how many altogether. This worksheet prints one picture graph at the top, with a small key that says what each picture stands for, and then five questions about it with a line for each answer.

Ask your child to count the pictures in each column and write the number beside the name first, then answer. Questions about the most and the fewest need a name, and questions about how many more need subtraction.

What your child will learn

  • Read a picture graph and its key
  • Find the most and the fewest
  • Add and subtract numbers from a graph to answer questions

Common Core standard: 2.MD.D.10

Worked example

If Drum has 6 pictures and Flute has 2, then Drum has 6 - 2 = 4 more votes than Flute.
