Reading picture graphs
CCSS.Math:
Interpret picture graphs (pictographs) to answer single-step questions about a context.
Reading picture graphs
Picture graphs use pictures or symbols to represent data. Let's look at the picture graph below.
Hopper the rabbit and her friends are collecting carrots. They made a picture graph to show how many carrots each of them collected.
Each
represents start color #1fab54, 3, end color #1fab54 carrots collected by the rabbits. Since Hopper has start color #11accd, 4, end color #11accd
above her name in the picture graph, we can multiply to find out how many carrots she collected.
Hopper collected 12 carrots.
We can follow the same steps to find how many carrots each of Hopper's friends collected.
Example 1: Flowers
John graphed the number of flowers he planted in his garden.
Example 2: Boat captains
Four boat captains, Ron, Dora, Jess, and Mark made a graph of the number of whales they saw while at sea last month.
Example 3: Creating a picture graph then reading it
Alyssa counts sheep to help her go to sleep. She made a table of how many sheep she counted over the past four days.
Day | Number of sheep counted |
---|---|
Monday | 18 |
Tuesday | 12 |
Wednesday | 14 |
Thursday | 10 |
Now that we have created our picture graph, let's answer some questions.

- yes i do know what 10x10= its equals to 100(3 votes)
- what can we do so we do more?(4 votes)
- i got the sheep bar graph correct but its saying im wrong(3 votes)
- R u suuure bout that(2 votes)
- whats 10x635?
and how do you get things(3 votes) - why on how many flowers were the same amount there is only 1 right answer(3 votes)
- What is one + one(2 votes)
- 1+1 split the equals and put one at the top and one at the bottom haha(2 votes)
