PIctographs

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

To read a pictograph, look at the symbols and their values to understand the data they represent.

Each symbol in a pictograph represents a specific number of items or units.

Pictographs are useful because they make it easy to visualize and compare data.

You can tell which category has the most items by comparing the number of symbols for each category.

If there are 10 symbols for 30 items, each symbol represents 3 items.

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

An example of data that can be represented in a pictograph is the number of pets owned by students.

To create a pictograph, choose a topic, collect data, decide on a symbol, and draw the symbols to represent the data.

A pictograph uses pictures or symbols, while a bar graph uses bars to represent data.
