PicTograPh

When we make use of pictures or symbols to represent information, we call it pictorial

representation or pictograph of the given information.
A pictograph helps us to compare information.

Every pictograph must have the following:
• title: The title tells us what information the pictograph gives.
• Key: The key tells us the meaning and the value of the picture or symbol.

Drawing a Pictograph

Ritu's mother records the data regarding the number of milk-bottles sold by a milk-booth
in a particular week. Ritu wants to represent it using a pictograph.

days Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

Number of milk- bottles sold 40 60 80 50 30 70
To represent the data pictorially, she choose a milk-bottle as a symbol. She assumes the

symbol of one milk-bottle represent 10 milk-bottles.

We shall draw (40 ÷ 10) = 4 bottles for selling on Monday, (60 ÷ 10) = 6 bottles on Tuesday,
(80 ÷ 10) = 8 bottles on Wednesday and so on.

Thus, we have the following pictograph.

Number of milk-bottles sold by a milk-booth in a week

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday
