๐ Topic Summary
Picture graphs are a fantastic way to represent data visually. Instead of just listing numbers, we use pictures to show how many of something we have. Each picture represents a certain number of items, making it easy to compare different amounts at a glance. They make understanding data fun and simple! Using them, we can quickly see which category has the most or least items.
For example, if we're tracking favorite fruits and one apple picture represents 2 apples, then three apple pictures would mean there are 6 apples in total. Understanding this helps us interpret and create picture graphs effectively.
