Concept of Pictograph
A pictograph is the representation of data using pictures. Pictographs represent the frequency of data using symbols or images that are relevant to the data.
This is one of the simplest ways to represent data.
- Pictographs were used as the earliest known form of writing, with examples having been discovered in Egypt and Mesopotamia since 3000 BC.
- A pictograph is also called a Pictogram.
- The data can be easily analysed and interpreted.
For example:
The modes of travelling to school by 160 students are given below:
Mode | By walking | On bicycle | By car | By bus |
No. of students | 30 | 50 | 20 | 60 |
Draw a suitable pictograph.
Solution :
Since every given number of data is completely divisible by 10, therefore the scale will be:
The required pictograph will be as shown below :

Students of Class VI in a school were given a task to count the number of articles made of different materials in the school. The information collected by them is represented as follows:
Material used | Articles ![]() |
Wood | ![]() |
Glass | ![]() |
Metal | ![]() |
Rubber | ![]() |
Plastic | ![]() |
Observe the pictograph and answer the following questions:
(a) Which material is used in maximum number of articles?
(b) Which material is used in minimum number of articles?
(c) Which material is used in exactly half the number of articles as those made up of metal?
(d) What is the total number of articles counted by the students?
