Pictograms Flashcards

A chart that uses pictures or symbols to represent data.

Explains what each picture or symbol represents in terms of quantity.

Use the key to determine the value of each symbol and calculate totals or compare data.

A partially drawn symbol represents a fraction of the value given in the key.

They are visually appealing and make data easy to understand at a glance.

They can be misleading if the key is unclear or if symbols are not drawn to scale.

Choose a suitable symbol, decide on a key, and ensure the symbols accurately represent the data.

Look at the number of symbols for each category and use the key to compare quantities.

The value of each symbol should be chosen to fit the data range and make the chart easy to read.

A pictogram can be misleading if the symbols are not proportional or if the key is omitted.
