A Pictograph is a fun graph that you can use pictures to represent your data. Each picture can represent more than one. You should have a key that shows this info. You can get creative with your pictographs.
Part A
Using this data create your own pictograph. We asked 22 people in the class what their favourite breakfast cereal was. Here is the data below. Create a pictograph with a key that shows what each picture is worth. Use a title as well.
Fruit Loops - 4 students
Count Chocula - 6 students
Trix- 2 students
Honey Nut Cheerios- 1 student
Captain Crunch- 7 students
Frosted Flakes- 2 Students.
Part B
Conducting a Survey. When you ask a question to find something out you are conducting a survey. For example, you could ask what everyone in the class (22) was their favourite after school activity? You would have to have 5-6 options. You have to come up with your own survey question and answers. And create a graph of your choice.
Here is an example of a survey question and data.
What is your favourite after school activity?
1. Watching tv 6
2. Playing video games 9
3. Playing outside with friends 2
4. Having a snack 1
5. Playing a sport 3
6. Other choice 1
Then you can choose a pictograph, line or bar graph to show your data. What did you learn from conducting your survey and graph? You can ask people in your family or make up a school survey with example answers.
