Weather Graph Data
Before you open · source notes
Read a weather picture graph and answer comparison questions. This is pictogram reading practice; collecting new tally data still needs a family survey.
Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.
Before you openAsk which weather was most common and how the learner knows from the graph.

Source, access and review notes
Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-11 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding
- Read a pictogram where each symbol represents one item
- Construct a tally chart from collected data
- Draw a block diagram, or build a concrete graph with one real object per data value, and give it a title, category labels and the data source (e.g. 'Our class survey, Monday')
“Can your child read a simple chart or pictogram — like one showing how many children chose each favourite fruit — and answer questions like "which was most popular"?”
