Hello and welcome! Today, we’re going to learn all about pictographs. A pictograph is a fun way to show information using pictures. Each picture in a pictograph stands for a certain number of things.
Let’s look at an example to understand pictographs better. Imagine an ice cream truck named Oreo. Oreo sells three flavors of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. A pictograph can show how many of each flavor Oreo sold. The pictograph has a title and two columns. The first column lists the ice cream flavors, and the second column shows how many were sold. There’s also a key that tells us each ice cream picture stands for one ice cream.
Now, let’s answer some questions using the pictograph:
Let’s learn how to make our own pictograph. Meet Sam, who washes cars. On Monday, he washed seven cars; on Tuesday, three cars; on Wednesday, five cars; and on Thursday, four cars.
We can organize this information into a pictograph titled “Cars Washed.” We’ll list the days of the week and use a car picture to show the number of cars washed. Each car picture stands for one car.
Now, let’s answer some questions:
Now, let’s learn about scaled pictographs. In a scaled pictograph, each picture stands for more than one item. Let’s look at a pictograph titled “Animals Adopted.” It shows six types of animals: dog, cat, ferret, rabbit, guinea pig, and hamster. The key tells us each picture stands for five animals.
Let’s answer some questions:
Great job learning about pictographs! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a pro at reading and making them. Thanks for learning with us!
Create Your Own Pictograph: Choose a topic that interests you, like your favorite fruits, toys, or animals. Gather some data by asking your friends or family about their favorites. Then, draw a pictograph to show your findings. Remember to include a title, a key, and use pictures to represent the data. Share your pictograph with your classmates and explain what it shows.
Pictograph Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find items that can be counted, like books, pencils, or cups. Create a simple pictograph to show how many of each item you found. Use a picture to represent each item and make sure to include a key. Discuss with a partner what your pictograph shows and compare your findings.
Question Time: Look at a pictograph from a book or a worksheet. Try to come up with three questions about the pictograph that someone else could answer. For example, “How many more apples than bananas are there?” or “Which item is the least common?” Swap questions with a friend and see if you can answer each other’s questions correctly.

Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour! In this video, we’ll learn all about pictographs. First, let’s understand what a pictograph is. A pictograph is a way of representing data using images. Each image in the pictograph represents a certain number of things.
Let’s learn the parts of a pictograph using an example. This is a pictograph of the ice cream flavors sold today by Oreo, the ice cream truck. The pictograph shows the number of ice creams sold and has a title. There are two columns: in the first column, we have the three flavors of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. In the second column, we have the number of ice creams sold. The key indicates that each ice cream icon represents one ice cream.
Now that we know the parts of a pictograph, let’s learn to interpret it and answer a few questions.
1. How many vanilla-flavored ice creams were sold? Three vanilla-flavored ice creams were sold.
2. How many chocolate-flavored ice creams did Oreo sell? He sold six chocolate-flavored ice creams.
3. How many strawberry-flavored ice creams did Oreo sell? He sold four strawberry-flavored ice creams.
4. How many more chocolate-flavored ice creams did Oreo sell than strawberry-flavored ice creams? He sold two more chocolate-flavored ice creams than strawberry-flavored ice creams.
5. Which flavor was the most popular? Chocolate was the most popular flavor.
6. Which flavor was the least popular? Vanilla was the least popular flavor.
7. How many ice creams did Oreo sell in total? He sold thirteen ice creams in all.
Now, let’s learn to organize information by drawing a pictograph. This is Sam, who washes cars at the car wash. On Monday, he washed seven cars; on Tuesday, three cars; on Wednesday, five cars; and on Thursday, four cars.
Let’s organize this information into a table. We’ll give our pictograph a title: “Cars Washed.” We’ll write our categories for the four days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We’ll then make another column to represent the data. Since it is a car wash, we will use a car icon. Each car icon represents one car.
Now, let’s draw the icons:
– On Monday, Sam washed seven cars.
– On Tuesday, he washed three cars.
– On Wednesday, he washed five cars.
– On Thursday, he washed four cars.
Now that our pictograph is ready, let’s answer a few questions:
1. How many cars did Sam wash on Tuesday and Wednesday? He washed eight cars in total.
2. How many more cars did Sam wash on Monday than on Thursday? He washed three more cars on Monday than on Thursday.
3. Did Sam wash more cars on Tuesday or Wednesday? He washed more cars on Wednesday.
4. On which day did Sam wash the most cars? On Monday.
5. On which day did Sam wash the fewest cars? On Tuesday.
6. How many cars did he wash in four days? He washed 19 cars in total.
Now, let’s learn to interpret a scaled pictograph. A scaled pictograph is one in which each picture represents more than one item.
Our next pictograph is titled “Animals Adopted.” We have six categories: dog, cat, ferret, rabbit, guinea pig, and hamster. The key indicates that each emoji represents five animals.
Now, let’s answer a few questions:
1. How many dogs were adopted? 35 dogs were adopted.
2. How many cats were adopted? 45 cats were adopted.
3. How many ferrets were adopted? 15 ferrets were adopted.
4. How many rabbits were adopted? 25 rabbits were adopted.
5. How many guinea pigs were adopted? 20 guinea pigs were adopted.
6. How many hamsters were adopted? 40 hamsters were adopted.
7. How many more guinea pigs than ferrets were adopted? Five more guinea pigs were adopted than ferrets.
8. How many animals were adopted in total? 180 animals were adopted in all.
9. Which was the most adopted animal at the shelter? The cat.
10. Which was the least adopted animal at the shelter? The ferret.
