Puzzling Picture Graphs
This engaging and matching puzzle activity is great for small group work. Students can work together to piece the picture graph puzzles together. Each piece contains either a statement that interprets the picture graph, a visual of the picture graph and the table and tally marks used to create the graph! Let us know your thoughts and how you used this activity in your classroom!

Learning goals
- We are learning to collect data using surveys, sort data into categories and display data in lists and tables.
- We are learning to gather data and record observations to answer a question.
- We are learning to collect, check and classify data.
- We are learning to represent and compare data displayed in various graphs, e.g. lists, tally charts, column graphs, picture graphs.
- We are learning to create displays of data using lists, table and picture graphs and interpret them.
- We are learning to create, compare and interpret data displayed in various graphs, including using software, e.g. lists, tables and infographics.
- We are learning to collect and organise data and create graphs, tables and lists.
