Money Picture Graph

Worksheet Description

You are given data that displays the amount of money each of the boys and girls has. You will then create a pictograph to display and compare the amount of money each child has.

This worksheet presents a table that lists the names of various kids alongside the amounts of money they have, expressed in dollars. The students are instructed to create a pictograph in the space provided below the table using the data given. Each dollar is represented by a symbol specified in the key, which the students will use to visually represent the amount of money each kid has. The task involves placing the appropriate number of symbols under each kid’s name on the pictograph to reflect the dollar amounts from the table.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to convert tabular data into a pictograph, a visual representation of data. It introduces the concept of scale in a pictograph, where one symbol equals a set value-in this case, one dollar. Students learn to associate numerical values with visual elements, a key skill for interpreting and creating graphs. This activity also reinforces mathematical concepts like counting and multiplication, as they must calculate the correct number of symbols to represent each amount of money.
