Securing constructing pictograms

I can construct pictograms from data.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Data presented as a list can be represented as a pictogram
  2. Data presented in a table can be represented as a pictogram
  3. The icons chosen should not be distracting or ambiguous

Keywords

  • Frequency - The frequency is the number of times an event occurs; or the number of individuals (people, animals etc.) with some specific property.

  • Pictogram - A pictogram (pictograph) is a graph consisting of pictures to visually represent the frequency of objects or groups

  • Data - Data are a collection of information.

Common misconception

The icon that the pupils choose is too complicated to duplicate and cannot be divided well.

Have the pupils try and find an icon with reflective symmetry and simple shapes.

If your pupils have shown good understanding on pictograms in lesson 1 of this unit, then this lesson may be unnecessary.
