Pictographs worksheets

Third grade pictographs bring in scaled keys: each symbol now stands for 2, 5, or 10, with half symbols on the even scales. Every question starts at the key: a row of 4 symbols on a key of 5 means 20, not 4.

Pictographs across the grades

2nd grade

Pictograph worksheets for second grade use a one-to-one key (each symbol stands for one) so reading the graph is careful counting. One question sits below each graph: how many in a category, which has the most, or how two rows compare.

3rd grade

Third grade pictographs bring in scaled keys: each symbol now stands for 2, 5, or 10, with half symbols on the even scales. Every question starts at the key: a row of 4 symbols on a key of 5 means 20, not 4.
