What is a Pictograph?

A pictograph is a chart that uses pictures or symbols to show data. Each picture stands for a certain number of things, making it easy to understand information at a glance.

Think of a pictograph like a story told with pictures: if you see 3 book icons, and each icon means 2 books, you know there are 6 books total!

Pictographs are used to make data fun and clear, like showing how many books students read or how many pets people have, without using boring numbers alone.

📚
1 Symbol = 3 Books
One book icon shows 3 books read.
📚📚
2 Symbols = 6 Books
Two book icons show 6 books read.
📚📚📚
3 Symbols = 9 Books
Three book icons show 9 books read.

Steps to Create a Pictograph

A pictograph is easy to make if you follow a few simple steps. It turns numbers into pictures to show data clearly.

Imagine you're counting fruits in a market. A pictograph helps you show how many apples, bananas, or mangoes there are using fun symbols!

Here's how to do it: collect data, choose a symbol, decide what each symbol means, and draw the pictograph.

Steps to Create a Pictograph

Step 1
Collect Data (e.g., 6 apples, 4 bananas)
Step 2
Choose Symbol (e.g., 1 circle = 2 fruits)
Step 3
Draw Pictograph

Each step helps turn numbers into a clear, visual story!

Let's make a picture chart of what we see! Count each group and enter the number.

How to Play

  • Step 1: Count the objects in each group carefully and enter the number in the input box.
  • Step 2: Click the "Submit Count" button to record your count. The table updates automatically.
  • Step 3: Once all groups are counted, a symbol key appears (e.g., 1 🔵 = 2 items).
  • Step 4: Click on empty circles to add symbols to your pictograph. Each symbol represents a fixed number of items.

Tip: Divide the item count by the symbol value to find how many symbols you need!
