Is there any other scale that you can use to make the pictograph? Choose your scale and show the same data using a pictograph in your notebook.
Yes, other scales can be used such as: 1 icon = 10 items 1 icon = 2 items 1 icon = 1 item
When using a larger scale like 10 items per icon, fewer icons are needed. When using a smaller scale like 1 item per icon, more icons are needed but the representation is more precise.
Explanation
The chapter explains that a scale helps record a large number of things using fewer icons. Students can choose different scales based on the data. A scale of 10 items per icon would require half the number of icons compared to a scale of 5. A scale of 1 item per icon would show exact quantities but require many more icons.
Solution Steps
Choose an appropriate scale for the pictograph (e.g., 1 icon = 10 items, 1 icon = 2 items, or 1 icon = 1 item)
Draw the pictograph using the chosen scale
Note: Larger scales require fewer icons; smaller scales provide more precision
