Interpreting Data Displays in Grade 3
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: Reading tally charts and pictographs, finding differences, and describing what the data shows.
A tally chart lists plant types seen in a garden: roses 6, daisies 9, tulips 4. Which plant type was seen most often?
Using the garden tally chart, how many more daisies than tulips were seen?
A pictograph uses one leaf symbol to stand for 2 leaves collected. Arow shows 5 symbols. How many leaves does the row represent?
In the same pictograph, one row has 3 symbols and another has 6 symbols. How many leaves in total does the two-row difference equal?
A weather chart records sunny days 8, cloudy days 5, and rainy days 3 over one month. Which weather type had the fewest days?
Using the weather chart, how many more sunny days than rainy days were recorded?
- Ask the child to explain how each symbol or tally mark represents a number, and encourage checking answers by recounting the marks.
