Pictograms - Worksheet

The pictogram worksheets provided by Teacher-of-Primary.co.uk are interactive tools designed to help students interpret and use pictograms to analyse data. In the first worksheet, students are tasked with answering questions based on the number of bats owned by witches as depicted in a pictogram. They are required to determine quantities, compare data, and even critique statements made by a character named Boris, who claims that two witches own three bats. Students must evaluate Boris's statement and identify any potential mistakes in his interpretation of the pictogram.

The second worksheet encourages students to construct their own pictogram based on information about the number of oranges picked by different classes. They must apply mathematical concepts such as multiplication, subtraction, and division to accurately represent the data. Following the creation of the pictogram, students answer several questions that challenge them to identify which class picked the least amount of oranges, calculate the difference in the number of oranges picked between classes, and determine the total number picked. Additionally, they must assess another claim made by Boris regarding the number of oranges picked by two of the classes and identify any errors in his statement. The third worksheet presents a problem-solving scenario where students must spot an issue with a pictogram that shows the number of frogs in children's gardens, highlighting that a pictogram cannot accurately represent half a unit of an item that cannot be divided, such as a frog. Further, they are given a task to complete a pictogram chart for a football tournament using clues about the number of goals scored in various matches.
