What is a Pictograph?
 A pictograph is a way to represent data using pictures or symbols.
What Does Each Picture Mean?
In a pictograph, every picture has a value.
This value is called the scale.
Example:
1 picture = 5 items
1 picture = 10 people
The scale helps us know the real number behind the 
pictures.
Why is Scale Important?
A scale helps to make a pictograph easier to read by reducing the number of pictures.
