Just like sometimes we use pictures to describe objects, we use graphs and charts to display statics in some mathematical questions. Pictographs are used in all types of materials to help clear explain data. A pictograph is a visual representation of data through the use of images. Each image that is placed on the graph represents a fixed value of data. When you are creating a pictograph you will go through several stages. Pictographs are mostly used in writing and graphic systems where the characters can be displayed through a picture. Pictograms are often used in various other subjects such as geography, leisure, and tourism.

You start by collecting your data, in many cases it will already be provided for you. Then comes the fun part, you pick your own symbol to represent the data. After that you just draw your pictograph. Your students will use this collection of worksheets to practice creating simple graphs and tables based on given information. They are called pictographs because they are simply picture graphs. Students will draw items in bar graphs or color in spaces, as directed.
