Pictographs are a way to represent data using pictures or symbols. Each picture represents a certain number of items, making it easy to compare quantities at a glance. Interpreting pictographs involves understanding what each symbol represents and using that information to answer questions about the data.
When working with pictographs, pay close attention to the key, which tells you the value of each symbol. Sometimes a symbol represents more than one item, and sometimes you might see partial symbols representing fractions of the key value. Let's get started!
