Pictographs Flashcard

A pictograph is a graph that uses pictures or symbols to represent data.

You read a pictograph by looking at the symbols and counting how many each symbol represents.

The key tells you what each symbol represents in terms of quantity.

You subtract the number of people who chose the second option from the number of people who chose the first option.

Tally marks are used to count and keep track of numbers in a quick and easy way.

5 tally marks are represented by 4 vertical lines and 1 diagonal line crossing them.

That represents 6 cats (2 symbols x 3 cats each).

Skip-counting is counting by a number other than one, such as counting by twos, fives, or tens.

You add up the values represented by all the symbols in the pictograph.

It means that no one chose that option.
