What does it mean if a pictograph has a key?

Back

A key in a pictograph explains what each symbol represents in terms of quantity, helping to interpret the data accurately.

How can you represent fractional values in a pictograph?

Back

Fractional values can be represented by using partial symbols or by indicating that a certain number of symbols represents a fraction of a whole.

Front

What are some common mistakes when interpreting pictographs?

Back

Common mistakes include miscounting symbols, misunderstanding the key, and failing to account for fractional representations.
