Real fruit sits in rows on a table as a real-object graph (4 apples, 2 bananas, 5 oranges), and each fruit gets one picture card in its row, which turns it into a picture graph with the same rows and the same numbers. The picture graph is then read: counting shows oranges have the most and bananas the fewest, and matching each banana with an orange shows there are 3 more oranges, checked by 2 + 3 = 5.

Transcript

What the lesson says

Here is some real fruit, lined up in rows.

Real fruit in rows makes a real-object graph.

Draw one picture for each apple, banana and orange.

Every fruit has one picture. This is a picture graph!

Count the apples: one, two, three, four.

Now count the bananas: one, two.

Now count the oranges: one, two, three, four, five.

Which row has the most? Oranges, with five.

Which row has the fewest? Bananas, with two.

How many more oranges than bananas?

Match each banana with one orange.

Three oranges have no match. That is three more!

Check: two plus three makes five.

One picture for each fruit made our picture graph.
