About Picture Graphs
What this skill is
Picture graphs (pictographs) represent data using picture symbols in rows or columns, progressing from 1 symbol = 1 item to scaled keys (1 symbol = 2, 5, or 10 items).
When children learn it
Picture graphs are taught in kindergarten through 3rd grade, aligned to 1.MD.C.4, 2.MD.D.10, and 3.MD.B.3.
Teaching Tips
- Check the key legend first: circle what 1 picture symbol represents.
- Skip count by key value when counting row symbols.
Common Mistakes
- Ignoring graph key legends when symbols represent multiple items.
- Misinterpreting half-picture symbols.
