How to draw a pictograph?

There are four steps involved in drawing a pictograph:

Step 1: Collect the data that is to be represented as a pictograph.

Step 2: Choose a symbol in accordance with the data you are representing.

For example, to represent chocolates we use a picture of chocolate or the picture of a TV to show the number of televisions.

Step 3: Assign the symbol a value relating to the data.

For example, 1 picture of a TV = 100 televisions in the data.

Step 4: Draw the pictograph by analysing the data and using the assigned symbols.

Let us now understand the steps with an example.

Collect data from a fruit seller about his sales in a particular week and represent it in the form of a pictograph.
