Picture Graphs (Pictographs)

Definition Picture Graph
A picture graph (or pictograph) is a chart that uses pictures to show how many of something there are. Each picture stands for one object (or more, if we say so). It helps us see and count easily!
Example
Let’s look at the fruits in the box and make a picture graph!
First, we sort the fruits into groups. Then, we can show how many there are with a picture graph. In this picture graph, one picture = one fruit.

Lemon Orange Apple

Our Fruit Picture Graph
Now, let’s read our graph:
  • How many lemons? There is one picture. There is 1 lemon.
  • How many oranges? Let’s count: one, two, three. There are 3 oranges.
  • How many apples are there? Let’s count the pictures: one, two. There are 2 apples.
