Read picture graphs to find how many, compare categories and find the total.
Why it matters
Reading graphs helps kids understand information in books, science projects and the world around them.
Finding how many more or fewer uses subtraction in a fresh, visual way.
Graphs teach kids to ask questions and look for evidence, a key scientific habit.

Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
A graph shows data in a picture. Each picture stands for one.
To find how many more, subtract: 7 bananas − 4 apples = 3 more bananas.
To find the total, add every row: 4 + 7 = 11.
For parents
Learning sticks best when kids use it in real life. Here are simple ideas from this course.
Make a bar graph of the colors of cars you see on a short walk. At home, ask your child which color was most common and how many cars you saw in all.
