Unit 2: Using Data to Solve Problems

Lesson 1: Analyzing Picture & Bar Graphs

Learning Target: I can interpret a picture graph and answer questions about the data presented in the graph.

A picture graph, or pictograph, is a graph used to display information that uses images or symbols to represent data.

A bar graph is a diagram in which the numerical values of variables are represented by the height or length of lines or rectangles of equal width.
