About this worksheet
Data work in first grade asks children to organize, represent, and interpret information with up to three categories. A picture graph or bar graph is not only a drawing; it is a source of evidence. Children need to read a category, count its symbols or bar height, and compare categories with subtraction language such as how many more. This worksheet rotates among reading one category, finding the most or least, comparing two categories, and choosing a conclusion supported by the data. Support pages use clear differences and small counts. Standard and challenge pages include closer values and questions that require two steps. Ask children to touch the category label, count the data, and then answer only what the question asks.
What your child will learn
- Read values from a graph
- Compare two categories
- Find most and least
- Use data to support a conclusion
Worked example
If apples show 6 and bananas show 4, apples have 2 more because 6 - 4 = 2.
Common mistake
Choosing the tallest bar for every question, even when the prompt asks for a count or difference.
Helpful hint
Read the category labels before counting.
