Picture Graphs and




                                            Bar Graphs








                On a picture graph, a

                picture is used to represent                     K
                an amount. Each picture                          l

                may represent one or more                        2
                items. The key tells how                         3
                many items each picture

                stands for.                                      4
                                                                 5

                On a bar graph, the
                height of a bar is used to
                represent an amount.

                Where a bar stops tells
                how much it stands for. The

                scale of an axis may count
                by ones, twos, fives, or a
                different amount.                                  0
