Graphing worksheets for 1st to 5th grade. Start with the chart that shows the same data three ways, then read tally charts, picture graphs, bar graphs and a line plot, draw a bar graph from a table, make line plots from measurements in half and quarter inches, and in 5th grade read and make line plots in eighths and use fractions to answer questions about them. A blank template is included for your own class survey.

Download PDFA graph is a picture of numbers. The numbers usually come from counting something, such as votes for a favorite color, and the graph makes it easy to see which is the most, which is the least and how far apart they are.
The Three Ways to Show Data chart takes one small set of votes and shows it as a tally chart, a picture graph and a bar graph, so children can see that all three say the same thing. The tally chart worksheet comes next, because counting with tallies is how the numbers are gathered in the first place.
The picture graph sheets come in two steps. On the first, each picture stands for one thing. On the second, each picture stands for two, which is where most mistakes happen: children count the pictures and forget the key. The two bar graph sheets do the same with the scale, first counting by 1s and then by 5s.
Make a Bar Graph turns it around and has children draw the bars from a table. The line plot sheets show measurements as Xs above a number line: one to read, two to make from a table of lengths (half inches, then quarter inches), and one where children measure eight things themselves and plot what they find, which is the 3rd grade standard. The blank template is for a real survey: pick a question, ask the class or the family, tally the answers and graph them. For the measuring behind line plots, see the measurement worksheets. To make graphs from your own experiments, try the probability worksheets: flip a coin, roll dice or spin a spinner, then tally and graph what happened. For a winter class activity, the snowman glyph turns each child’s answers into a snowman, then a tally and a bar graph.
