What is a Pictograph?

Pictographs are representations of any kind of data using charts, symbols or images. Pictographs are mainly used in Mathematics and Statistics. A key is often used in a pictograph to denote what the picture represents. A pictograph may contain one or more icons or images, each denoting a specific thing. All icons and images used in the pictograph must be of the same size. Pictographs give us an idea of the data frequency using relevant symbols or images. 

Uses of Pictographs

Pictographs are usually used in statistics. They help in concepts like data handling and interpretation using pictorial information.

Advantages of using Pictographs

• Pictographs help in representation of large data in a small place. 

• The pictorial representation helps in attracting students, as many images and symbols are used. 

• It does not need much explanation, as everything is very clearly represented using images and symbols. 

How to make a Pictograph

The following steps are used to make a pictograph:

1. Collect data

The first step is to collect the data or the information that you want to represent. The relevant data must be collected by appropriate means. After that, a table must be formed where the collected data is stored. The data collected can also be reviewed once more for corrections. 

2. Select Symbol/Image

The second step is to find a symbol or image that accurately represents the data. Proper selection of symbols helps in better understanding of the data. 

3. Assign a key 

Sometimes, the frequency of the data is so high, that the image or symbol cannot be used to represent the data. In that case, a ‘key’ is used. The key is used to indicate the value of the image. The value of the key should be written in the pictogram. 

4. Draw the Pictograph 

To draw a pictograph, two columns need to be drawn, one representing the category and another representing the data. Then, draw the symbols representing the data beside the categories. If fractions or decimals need to be represented, it can be done by drawing a portion of the symbol. 

5. Review the data

After drawing the entire pictogram, it is necessary to check it and make sure it correctly represents the information that is wanted. The labels of the pictogram should also be checked. 

Pictograph Example

Let us make a pictograph of the sale of bicycles in the first quarter of 2024. 

The following table gives the data:

The given data can be represented in a pictogram as follows:

Where one (Images Will Be Uploaded soon) signifies 100 bicycles that were sold. 

As we can see, the data becomes more visually appealing and becomes easy to interpret.
