Hello, everyone! It’s Teacher Michael here, and today we’re going to learn about picture graphs. Picture graphs are a fun way to show information using pictures. Let’s see how they work and answer some questions together!
Our picture graph today is all about coffee. At the bottom, we have numbers that show how many cups of coffee were sold. Each number stands for one cup. On the left side, we have the days of the week.
Let’s look at day one. Can you count how many cups of coffee were sold? Let’s count together: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That’s right! Seven cups of coffee were sold on the first day.
Now that we know how to read a picture graph, let’s answer some questions!
Which day had the most cups of coffee sold? Let’s check each day:
Day four had the most cups sold with eleven cups!
On which day were ten cups of coffee sold? Let’s look at the graph. Day three stops right at ten, so day three is the answer!
How many more cups were sold on day two than on day one? Day two had nine cups, and day one had seven cups. Let’s subtract: nine minus seven equals two. So, two more cups were sold on day two than on day one.
How many cups were sold on day one and day three all together? Day one had seven cups, and day three had ten cups. Let’s add them: ten plus seven equals seventeen. So, seventeen cups were sold all together on those days!
Remember, when you’re looking at picture graphs, first look at the pictures and numbers. Then, read each question carefully and check the graph to find your answer. It’s like solving a fun puzzle!
Thanks for learning with us today! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a picture graph expert in no time. See you next time!
Create Your Own Picture Graph: Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or stickers. Choose a topic, such as favorite fruits or colors, and ask your family or friends about their favorites. Use the objects to represent each vote and create your own picture graph. How many objects represent each choice? Can you find out which choice is the most popular?
Picture Graph Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find items that can be grouped together, like different colored toys or types of books. Create a picture graph using drawings or cut-out pictures to show how many of each item you found. Share your graph with a friend and ask them questions about it, like which group has the most or least items.
Picture Graph Story Time: Imagine a story about a week at a coffee shop. Draw a picture graph showing how many cups of coffee were sold each day. Write a short story about why some days had more sales than others. Did something special happen on the day with the most sales? Share your story and graph with your class or family.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hello boys and girls, it’s Teacher Michael, and today we’re going to be looking at picture graphs. A picture graph is a great way to display information. We’ll use our picture graph to help us answer some questions.
Let’s take a closer look at this picture graph before we dive into the questions. Our picture graph today is about coffee. The numbers at the bottom represent one cup of coffee, so one represents one cup, two represents two cups, and so on. On the left side of our graph, we have each day.
On day one, can you tell how many cups of coffee we drank? Well, we just need to look at day one and count the cups of coffee. I see there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven cups. We could also look at the last cup of coffee and see that it lines up with the number seven. So, on the first day, we had seven cups of coffee.
Now, let’s use this information about reading picture graphs to help us answer some questions. Let’s read the directions and get started right away.
**Coffee House Survey: Picture Graph Word Problems**
Look at the picture graph and answer the questions about the coffee house.
Okay, let’s look at the first question: On which day were the most cups of coffee sold? We have days one, two, three, and four.
On day one, we said there were seven cups sold. On day two, there were nine cups sold. On day three, there were ten cups sold. But on day four, there were the most—eleven cups sold! If we look horizontally across day four, it’s all the way filled up, meaning that they drank all eleven cups of coffee. So, we can check day four.
Now, let’s read the second question: On which day were ten cups of coffee sold? There are a few different ways we can answer this question. We can go day by day or look at the number of cups of coffee directly.
So, let’s focus on the number of cups of coffee. We want to know on which day ten cups were sold. If we look straight across, we see that day three stops right at ten. So, we know that on day three, there were ten cups of coffee sold. Let’s check day three.
Now we’re going to get into some questions where we have to look at more than one day at a time. Let’s read this question carefully: How many more cups of coffee were sold on the second day than the first day?
First, we need to figure out how many cups of coffee were sold on day two. On day two, there were nine cups sold. What about day one? We remember there were seven cups sold on day one.
The question wants to know how many more cups of coffee were sold on the second day than the first day. To find out how many more, we can subtract. We can subtract seven from nine. Counting up from seven: seven, eight, nine—there were two more cups of coffee sold on the second day than the first day.
We could also use visuals. If we look at day two, it goes up to nine, and day one goes up to seven. We can see that there is a difference of two cups of coffee.
Let’s take a look at our final question: How many cups of coffee were sold on day one and day three all together? When I say “all together,” I think we will be adding these numbers.
On day one, there were seven cups sold, and on day three, there were ten cups sold. To find out how many cups there were all together, we can add ten plus seven.
Zero plus seven is seven, and one plus nothing is one. So, on day one and day three all together, there are seventeen cups of coffee sold.
Remember, boys and girls, when you’re looking at picture graphs or trying to answer questions about them, first take a look at the picture graph and see what you notice. Then, after you reread each question carefully, go back and look at the picture graph to find the answer.
