Reading picture graphs
Interpret picture graphs (pictographs) to answer single-step questions about a context.
Reading picture graphs
Picture graphs use pictures or symbols to represent data. Let's look at the picture graph below.
Hopper the rabbit and her friends are collecting carrots. They made a picture graph to show how many carrots each of them collected.
Each
represents carrots collected by the rabbits. Since Hopper has
above her name in the picture graph, we can multiply to find out how many carrots she collected.
Hopper collected carrots.
We can follow the same steps to find how many carrots each of Hopper's friends collected.
Example : Flowers
John graphed the number of flowers he planted in his garden.
Example : Boat captains
Four boat captains, Ron, Dora, Jess, and Mark made a graph of the number of whales they saw while at sea last month.
Example 3: Creating a picture graph then reading it
Alyssa counts sheep to help her go to sleep. She made a table of how many sheep she counted over the past four days.
Day | Number of sheep counted |
---|---|
Monday | |
Tuesday | |
Wednesday | |
Thursday |
Now that we have created our picture graph, let's answer some questions.
