About this resource

Description

Every class has an opinion about vegetables, and this favorite vegetables worksheet turns those opinions into real data work for first graders. A class has voted for its favorite vegetable, and the votes are recorded as tally marks beside a carrot, an ear of corn and a pod of peas. Children count the tally marks in each row, remembering that a bundle of four marks with a line across it stands for five. Then they turn those three totals into a bar graph and use the graph to answer questions. It is a complete, friendly lap through organizing, showing and reading data with three categories.

The sheet is set up in three numbered steps so young learners always know what comes next. First they read the tally chart. Next they color one square on the graph for each vote, building a bar for every vegetable on a scale from 1 to 8. Last, they answer three short questions: how many votes one vegetable got, which vegetable got the most votes, and how many more votes one got than another. Simply print it, hand it out, and let children work at their own pace.

What’s Included

  • A tally chart of class votes for three favorite vegetables
  • A blank bar graph to color, one square for each vote
  • Three read-the-graph questions, including a how-many-more question
  • A complete answer key on page 2

Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

First, reading tally marks in groups of five builds counting fluency and prepares children for skip counting. Second, coloring the graph from the tally chart shows kids that the same information can be shown in more than one way. Third, the comparison question asks children to find a difference, which connects graphing to subtraction and gets them thinking about what the data means.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

This 1st grade graphing worksheet makes a great follow-up to a real class vote. Take your own vegetable survey with tally marks on the board, then let children compare your class results with the ones on the sheet. At home, parents can have kids tally the vegetables served at dinner for a week. Use the favorite vegetables worksheet as a math center, homework, or a quick check of 1st grade data skills.
