2nd grade bar graphs and line plots
Quick answer
In 2nd grade (ages 7–8), children collect data, draw picture graphs and bar graphs, and make line plots from measurements. Learn Bright's "Graphs for Kids", Khan Academy and Kids Academy lessons, and Math with Mr. J line plot examples, ending with two Numberock songs. Play all on repeat, or loop one graph example.

What does this 2nd grade graphs unit cover?
It covers tally marks, picture graphs and bar graphs with up to four categories, answering put-together, take-apart and compare questions, and line plots made from measured lengths. By the end a child should read a bar graph and say how many more chose one answer than another.
How does RepeatWatch help with graphs?
Set an A–B loop on the part where a graph is built step by step, or slow it to 0.75× so your child can draw along. Use Repeat one on a graph song, save lesson parts on keys 1–9, and Stop after N loops to keep sessions short.
Frequently asked questions
What is a line plot?
A line plot shows data on a number line, with an X or dot above each value for every time it appears. In 2nd grade, children often measure several objects and plot the lengths, which links this unit with measurement.
What grade learns bar graphs?
In the US, picture graphs and bar graphs are usually taught in 2nd grade (ages 7–8), building on tally charts in 1st grade. Grade levels vary by country and school, so start with whichever videos fit your child.
