Pictograms
Pictures can be used to represent data in a chart. Let us
say that we did a survey of the different makes of
car passing the school in 1 hour. The results were
6 Fords 2, BMWs, 5 Toyotas and 8 Vauxhalls.
we could draw a chart like the following




Ford
BMW
Toyota
Vauxhall
Handling Data
This is what the chart would look like if we 
said that 1 picture represents 1 car

If we were to say 1 picture represents 2 cars 
the chart would look like this
Ford BMW
Toyota
Vauxhall Notice we cut 1 picture in
half so that two and a half pictures represent
 5 Toyotas
Pie charts can be used
to represent data. The “pieces”
of the pie represent the amount
of each item in a list. You can
calculate the degrees needed to
draw the “pieces” by dividing
the amount of each by the total
and multiplying the answer
by 360.
