2. PICTOGRAMS
A Pictogram , also called a pictogramme pictograph, picto and also an
‘icon’, is an ideogram that conveys its meaning through
its pictorial resemblance.
A pictograph or pictogram represents the frequency of data as
pictures or symbols. Each picture or symbol may represent one
or more units of the data. This is one of the simplest ways to
represent data. And reading a pictograph is made extremely
easy as well. The best way to explain a pictograph is through
an example.
3. HOW TO MAKE A PICTOGRAPH
Let us take an example . We must represent how many book sets
have been sold in the last few months via a pictograph. So we get
started
COLLECT DATA: First step is to collecting the data of the category
you want to represent . Collect your data by appropriate means.
And then make a list or table of the data. And one time finally
review data.
PICK YOUR SYMBOL : Pick a symbol or picture that accurately
represents your data.
4. .
ASSIGN A KEY : Sometimes the frequency of the data is too high.
Then one symbol cannot represent the frequency . You must set a numerical
value that one symbol will represent. This numerical value
must be written along with the pictograph. Example one symbol of a
book represents 100 book sets .
DRAW THE PICTOGRAPH: Final step is drawing your pictograph .
Draw the two columns that represent the category and the data.
Then draw the actual symbols that represent the frequencies .
Remember that the symbols can be drawn as fractions as well
if the frequency is not a whole number.
5. .
REVIEW YOUR DATA: And finally, review your pictograph and make sure it
correctly represents the information that you wanted to relay.
After your done drawing the above pictograph it should look something similar
To the following picture.
Each represents 100 book sets
6. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PICTOGRAM
The line plot below shows how students scored on last weeks math
Test . How many students scored 95 or higher on the test?
a. 5 students
b. 7 students
c. 11 students
d. 12 students
8. Sol: The correct answer is D . It is given that 1 star represents
1 student.
Students getting 95 marks =7
students getting 100 marks =5
Therefore students getting 95 0r above =5 +7=12 students
.
