Translating Pictographs
Translating Pictographs allows students to apply their knowledge of translating data from one type of graph to another.
Students interpret the completed pictograph and then translate it into a tally chart. The open-ended questions allow for comparing and discussing the findings of the data.
Learning goals
- We are learning to draw simple data displays and make simple inferences.
- We are learning to record, compare and discuss data and create one-to-one displays.
