Data handling using Pictograph:

Learning objective: Students will be able to represent information in
pictograph and interpret it.

• A pictograph is a way of data handling that uses pictures to display
collected information.
• It helps answer the questions on the data at a glance.

• A pictograph has:
• Pictures - They tell us the given number of objects.

• A key – It is a symbol that tells us the number each picture is equal to.
• Pictographs are often used by dailies and magazines to attract reader’s
attention.

• This data shall be displayed in a table that we shall call our ‘pictograph’.
