Picture Graphs

A picture graph is a visual representation of data using pictures or symbols to show quantities.

Each symbol in a picture graph represents a specific quantity or number of items.

To read a picture graph, count the number of symbols for each category to find out how many items are represented.

The purpose of a picture graph is to make it easier to understand and compare data visually.

4 symbols represent 20 bags (4 x 5 = 20).

To find the total, multiply the number of symbols by the value each symbol represents.

Comparing data means looking at different categories to see which has more or less.

Tamika wrote 6 more pages on Tuesday than on Monday (9 - 3 = 6).

Subtract the number of items in the smaller category from the number in the larger category.

Each picture of a bike represents 4 miles that Morgan rode on his bike.
