What are Horizontal Picture Graphs Used For? Whenever you go on to study math, do you think that the subject is boring? Well, everyone thinks that there is not a single thing about math that makes sense and could b fun or interesting to study about. But that's not true! Math has its fair share of exciting topics that is remarkably interesting and very fun to learn about! Have you heard about what picture graphs are? More importantly, do you know what graphs are? Let us take a look at what they are one by one, and then we can move on to learn how you can read line graphs! A graph is a visual illustration of data that is too big and too complicated to be written in text. And a line graph is a type of graph. And trust us, picture graphs are so cool! There is so much that you can learn from looking at a picture graph. Reading line graphs is extremely easy. There are two axes, the x, and the y-axis, that have the numbers and values. These values represent the data of the question, and the pictures represent the highs and lows. The greater the number of pictures, the greater the value, and the lower the number of pictures, the lower the value.

These worksheets focus on using pictographs that move in a left or right direction. This is usually the second step in a student's graphing career. The next logical step is bar graphs, which if you look at pictograms close enough, you can see the bars that are made by the images within it. We help students work on the conversion from step one to step two. These worksheets explain how to read horizontal picture graphs. Your students will use these activity sheets to learn how to convert simple pictographs (where a given number within a data set is represented by an icon) into a related bar graph.
