Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students work with a partner to read a simple picture graph about goods bought or sold. They count the pictures and tell what the graph shows.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can point to a row, count its pictures, and say how many items were sold. They can use the counts to tell a partner which item sold more.
Common Misconceptions: Students may count the item label as one of the pictures. They may also pick the longest row without counting, even when the rows do not start in the same place.
How to Assess It: Give pairs a picture graph showing three apples, two loaves of bread, and one carton of milk sold. Ask each child to tell their partner which item sold most and how many apples sold.

Lesson moves

Give partners counters to cover and count each item on a printed picture graph of pretend store sales.
Show a picture graph of toy sales and ask, "Which toy should the store put on the front shelf, and what on the graph tells you?"
Play Graph Detective: call out "Find an item that sold twice," and have partners point to the matching row on a store sales graph.
Use a picture graph of yesterday's cafeteria lunch choices and ask pairs which meal the cafeteria served most.
