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? 5 students 7 students 11 students 12 students

7. . .. 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 KEY : =1 STUDENT

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 .

9. MERITS . Greater attractive value . Used in exhibition and fairs . Pictures are remembered in our mind

10. LIMITATIONS . Difficult to construct . Do not give minute details .
