Picture Graphs


Imagine you have a box full of toys. You want to tell your friends what toys you have and how many of each toy you have. You could tell or show them one by one, but that can take a lot of time. What if you could show them all the information quickly and clearly? This is where picture graphs come in handy!

A picture graph is a special kind of graph that uses pictures or symbols to represent data. Data is a word that means information. When you use a picture graph, each picture or symbol represents a certain number of things.

Why use picture graphs?

Picture graphs are fun and easy to read, especially for young learners. They help us:

  • Count the number of objects quickly.
  • Easily compare different quantities.
  • Understand information better by seeing it visually.

Parts of a picture graph

To understand a picture graph you need to know its parts. Let's take a look at the important parts:

  • Title: The title tells you what the picture graph is about. It is usually written at the top of the graph.
  • Illustrations: Pictures or symbols represent data. Each picture can represent one or more items.
  • Labels: Labels tell you what each set of pictures shows. Labels are usually written next to or below the pictures.
  • Key: The key or legend tells you how many items each picture or symbol represents.

Creating a picture graph

Let's create a picture graph using an example. Suppose you counted the different types of sweets your friends like.

Data collection:

You asked your friends and got the following numbers:

  • Cake: 4 friends
  • Ice Cream: 6 Friends
  • Cookies: 3 friends
  • Candy: 5 friends

Now, let's turn this information into an image graph!

Creating the graph:

First, decide on a picture to represent the data. Let's use a star (★) to represent each friend.

Our key will be: 1 star = 1 friend

Picture graph example:

Cake: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Ice Cream: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Cookies: ★ ★ ★
Candy: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Reading picture graphs

Once you have your picture graph, you can read and understand it. Here's how:

  1. To understand what the graph is about, look at the title.
  2. Check the key to find out what each picture represents.
  3. Count the pictures next to each label to find the number of items.

Practice exercise

Let's practice with another example:

Data collection:

Your class counted the number of pets each student had. Here is the information:

  • Dogs: 5 students
  • Cats: 3 students
  • Fish: 2 students
  • Birds: 4 students

Create a picture graph using a heart (♥) for each pet.

Key: 1 heart = 1 student

Picture graph:

Dogs: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Cats: ♥ ♥ ♥
Fish: ♥ ♥
Bird: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Understanding picture graphs with more examples

You can improve your understanding by using multiple examples. Let's look at another example, shall we?

You conducted a survey to find out which flavor of ice cream your friends like:

  • Vanilla: 4 friends
  • Chocolate: 7 friends
  • Strawberries: 5 friends
  • Mint: 3 friends

Use a smiley face (☺) for each friend and create a picture graph.

Key: 1 smiley = 1 friend

Picture graph:

Vanilla : ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Chocolate: ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Strawberry: ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Mint : ☺ ☺ ☺

Conclusion

Picture graphs are a great way to learn about data using pictures! They make reading information more fun and interesting. Keys, pictures, and labels can help you quickly tell a lot about the data.

Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you practice drawing and reading graphs, the better you will get!
