There are many different ways to show information by using
charts and graphs. You could use a pie chart to show how you
spend your time after school. You could use a tally chart to
show how often you help with chores. You could also use a
picture graph, which is a fun way to show information by using
images. Picture graphs are also known as pictographs. Let's look
at some examples.
This picture graph shows images of pets vertically, or
up and down.

This pictograph shows pictures of fruit horizontally, or
left to right.

Some picture graphs have a key that tells how many items
each picture stands for. If a picture graph does not
have a key, each picture stands for one item.

That's right! Each pictograph has a title that tells you
what the graph is showing. This is similar to the titles
of some books. Do you think you could make your own
picture graph? Click the arrow to watch a video about
