📊 Practise Analysing Column Graphs and Picture Graphs with a Board Game!

Are your students learning how to read and interpret data? Understanding the difference between different types of data displays can be tricky for young learners. With repeated practise, your students will master how to read graphs in no time! With this board game, students will practise reading bar graphs and pictographs that use a single-unit scale.

Through this activity, students will show they can solve “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information in single-unit bar graphs and pictographs.
