Pictogram Graph

Pictogram

What it is: Most elementary math curricula include lessons on graphing with pictograms.  This online version of the Pictogram Graph lets teachers and students create and learn about pictogram graphs in an interactive environment.  The Pictogram Graph website makes it simple to add titles, descriptions, choose a picture and a color, choose what value each picture is worth, choose the number of rows/columns, and enter a value on the graph.

How to integrate Pictogram Graph into the classroom: This interactive website is a great way to teach graphing with pictures.  Use Pictogram Graph with an interactive whiteboard for whole class graphing.  This site would also make a great math center in the classroom.  Groups of students can visit the center and graph collected values.

Tips: In addition to the Pictogram Graph site, there is a link at the bottom of the page to a farm animal pictogram which changes the look of the webpage.  The farm animal pictogram would be ideal for the kindergarten and first grade classrooms.
