Pictograms, tally charts and block diagrams
Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables
What you'll learn
- 1
A tally chart, a pictogram and a block diagram are three ways of showing the same counting.
- 2
In a tally, each mark is one. The fifth mark goes across the other four like a gate, so you can count in 5s.
- 3
A tally shows one gate of five and three more marks. What is the total?
- 4
A pictogram has a key telling you what one picture is worth. It might be worth 2, 5 or 10 — not always 1.
- 5
A pictogram uses 🐶 = 2 dogs. Class 2 shows 5 dog pictures. 5 lots of 2 is 10 dogs.
- 6
If 🍏 = 5 apples and there are 4 apple pictures, how many apples?
- 7
Two children have block towers of 6 and 9. How many more does the second have?
