Picture graph worksheet
A finished picture graph with three rows of pictures, and three questions underneath. The child finds the right row, counts the pictures in it, and writes how many. Pick your range, then print. Free, no account, no ads.
Counting range
To 5 gives five boxes in every row and the largest pictures. To 8 gives eight boxes and longer rows to count.
Pictures
Both sets ask exactly the same questions and have the same answers. Only the pictures change.
Orientation
Both print the same graph and the same three questions.
Picture Graph
Count the pictures in each row. Write how many.

How it works
Each row of the graph belongs to one kind of picture, named at the left by both a picture and a word so a child who cannot read yet can still find the row. Every row runs the same number of boxes, and the boxes past the last picture stay empty. That is what makes it a graph rather than three piles of pictures: the rows line up, so you can see at a glance which one holds more.
One picture always means one thing. There is no key and nothing to multiply, which is the whole point at this age.
Why the questions only ask how many
Reading a quantity off a graph is its own skill, and it is worth practising on its own before anything is done with the numbers. So every question here names one row and asks only for its count. There is no which has more, no how many more, and no adding up. A child who can find the row and count it has done the thing this sheet teaches.
Where it fits
Before this, count and color builds the counting this sheet assumes. Alongside it, compare the groups works on more, fewer and the same, complete the pattern on picture sequences, and missing numbers on counting order. The kindergarten and grade 1 pages gather the resources for this age, and when written arithmetic is the right level you can make a worksheet in seconds.
