In this activity, we will be using pictograms to answer questions about data.
This pictogram shows how many books were read by some children in one year.
Note that each book picture stands for two books.
Let's try an example question using this pictogram.
Example
How many books did Jenny read?
Answer
The pictogram shows that Jenny read 12 books because there are six book pictures next to her name and each picture represents two books:
6 x 2 = 12 books
Let's try some questions on this now.
