About this chart

The three steps of making a picture graph, shown with apples, fish and stars.

What kids practice

Sorting means putting things that are alike into groups. Kindergartners sort, count how many are in each group, and show the counts on a simple picture graph. Then they use the graph to tell which group has the most or the fewest.

Watch for

  • Counting a picture twice or skipping one when they are scattered.
  • Coloring graph boxes from the top instead of the bottom.
  • Picking the group with the biggest pictures instead of the most.

It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full sorting and picture graphs guide for kindergarten.
