Completing a Pictograph from a Tally Chart Worksheet Download
This worksheet pairs a tally chart with a pictograph that is missing one of its rows. Because each picture stands for two students, the student has to read the tally and then halve it rather than copy a number across. On the printed page the missing row is left blank and the answer key fills it in; online the row is a strip of faded pictures and clicking one selects up to it. Other pictograph sheets on the site ask which pictograph matches a chart, or read a finished one - this asks students to build part of it.
