Favorite Fruit Pictograph Practice for Grade 3
A short worksheet in which students read a pictograph key where each star stands for 2 votes, then draw the missing stars to match a table of fruit votes (apples, bananas, grapes). It builds skills in interpreting scaled pictographs and connecting tables to graphs, aligned to TEK 3.8A, and works well as a quick independent or partner practice in a 20-30 minute math block.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the idea of a scaled pictograph first, modeling how one star equals 2 votes, so students understand that a half star or a single star does not always mean one vote.
- Discussion question: If apples have 12 votes, how many stars is that, and how did you figure it out without counting every single star?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a skip-counting chart by 2s (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) and have students circle the number of stars they need to draw before drawing them.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a new table with a different key, such as 1 star equals 5 votes, and then redraw the graph to show the same data.
- Estimated time: About 20-30 minutes, including a brief check of answers as a class.
