Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we use a slanting line for the fifth tally mark?
The slanting line groups five tallies together, which makes it much faster and easier to count large numbers in blocks of five.
How do I read a pictograph when one picture stands for more than one item?
You must check the key or legend first to see the value of each symbol, and then multiply the number of symbols by that value.
Do I need to use a scale for Class 4 pictographs?
Usually, for simple questions, one picture represents one item (scale of 1). However, sometimes one picture can represent 2, 5, or 10 items if the numbers are large.
