A picture graph is a kind of graph that uses pictures and symbols to represent data. An important part of the picture graph is the key. The key tells us how many things are represented by one symbol.

See the fact file below for more information on the picture and bar graphs or alternatively, you can download our 32-page Measurement and Data: Picture and Bar Graphs CCSS 3.MD.3 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  • At the end of the lesson students will be able to read and analyse data presented in picture graphs and bar graphs.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When teaching Picture Graphs and Bar Graphs, take note of the following:
    • Make sure the student is aware of the key above a picture graph. This tells us how many of an object is equal to one symbol.
    • Make sure the student can confidently compare and contrast different values presented in the graphs.

THEORY

  • A picture graph is a kind of graph that uses pictures and symbols to represent data. An important part of the picture graph is the key. The key tells us how many things are represented by one symbol. Let’s take this key as an example:

  • This tells us that one symbol of an apple is equal to 2 apples. This means that if the picture graph shows us 3 apple symbols, this is equal to 6 apples.

  • What if we are only given half a symbol? This means that we will take it as half of the number it symbolizes. If one symbol is equal to 2, then half a symbol would be equal to 1.

  • A bar graph uses bars of different lengths to represent data. The numbers at the side of the bar graph are a scale. These tell us how many each bar represents. By reading the bar graph below, we can tell that: A = 10, B = 6, C = 4, and D = 8.
