Data handling: pictographs, bar graphs and mean โ€” Maths worksheet

A pictograph uses a symbol for a number of things: if ๐ŸŽ = 5 children, then ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ means 15 children. A bar graph shows each number as the height of a bar, so the tallest bar is the biggest number. The mean (average) of a set of numbers is their total divided by how many numbers there are, and the range is the highest minus the lowest.

The method

Read the key first โ€” โ€œone symbol stands for many โ€” count the symbols, then multiply by the keyโ€

  1. Pictograph: number of symbols ร— the value of one symbol (the key).
  2. Bar graph: read the height of each bar; tallest bar = most, shortest bar = fewest; "how many more" = difference of two bars.
  3. Mean = total of the numbers รท how many numbers.
  4. Range = highest โˆ’ lowest.

Use it for: Cricket scores, class surveys, marks in tests, rainfall charts, and the data handling chapter of Class 6 maths.

Worked example: Find the mean (average) of 12, 15, 9 and 20. โ†’ 14

  1. Total = 12 + 15 + 9 + 20 = 56. There are 4 numbers.
  2. 56 รท 4 = 14.

Check: 14 ร— 4 = 56, the total โœ“
