Understanding Scaled Pictographs
A pictograph uses symbols to represent data. A scaled pictograph uses one symbol to represent more than one unit, making it easier to display larger quantities of data.
Use the pictograph below to answer the following questions. The pictograph shows the number of books read by students in a reading challenge.
Books Read in Reading Challenge
Key: 📚 = 5 books
Sarah:
📚📚📚📚📚📚
David:
📚📚📚📚
Emily:
📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚
Mike:
📚📚📚
1. How many books did Sarah read?
2. Who read the most books?
3. How many more books did Emily read than David?
Complete the scaled pictograph below based on the given data. Use the key: ⚽ = 10 goals.
Goals Scored by Soccer Teams
Key: ⚽ = 10 goals
Team A (40 goals):
Team B (60 goals):
Team C (35 goals):
1. If one symbol represents 8 apples, how many symbols would you draw for 24 apples?
2 symbols
3 symbols
4 symbols
8 symbols
2. Which of the following is the best scale for a pictograph showing the number of cars in a parking lot if the numbers range from 15 to 45?
1 car
5 cars
10 cars
20 cars
1. Explain why using a scaled pictograph can be more efficient than a pictograph with a scale of 1:1 when representing a large dataset.
