Collecting data: pictograms

A pictogram is a simple way to organise data in which each object is represented by a picture of itself. Introduce your child to the concept and offer a fruit-tastic practice activity to help them understand the concept.

This data collecting activity will enable your child to:

• Collect data quickly, and make and organise a pictogram
• Discuss questions such as 'How can we find out?' and 'How can we organise the information?'
• Carry out their own survey
