12.01 Picture graphs

Lesson

Are you ready?

Do you know how to count up by a constant number? Let's try this problem to practice.

Write the next number in the pattern:

  1. $1$1, $3$3, $5$5, $7$7, $9$9, $11$11, $\editable{}$

 

Learn

A pictograph, also called a picture graph, uses pictures and a key to show data. The key tells us how much each picture represents.

If the key says that each picture represents $1$1 unit, then we can read the data by counting up by $1$1s.

Let's learn more about picture graphs in this video.
