Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if a picture represents more than 1 item, like 5 items?
You must multiply the number of pictures by the scale (5) to find the total count. For example, 3 pictures mean 3 times 5, which equals 15 items.
How do I draw a half picture in a pictograph?
If the scale is 10 and you need to show 5, you draw exactly half of the picture symbol to represent that portion.
Why do we use tally marks?
Tally marks help us count large groups of items easily without losing count, as we group them in sets of five.
