Students interpret pictographs and bar graphs where every symbol stands for more than one item. Part A corrects three sentences containing errors in scaled totals and misconceptions about half-symbols. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions computing totals and differences from both graph types. Part C addresses true-or-false statements that clear up common mix-ups about pictographs versus bar graphs.
Together these sections reinforce that each symbol must be multiplied by the key, not simply counted.

Bar Graphs and Pictographs
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Soccer has 6 students because there are 6 symbols.
Rewrite: Soccer has 30 students because each symbol equals 5.
2. Fix the sentence:
Dogs and Fish together equal 35 pets.
Rewrite: Dogs and Fish together equal 40 pets.
3. Fix the sentence:
A half symbol on a pictograph means nothing.
Rewrite: A half symbol on a pictograph means half the key value.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If each flower symbol equals 2, then 6 tulip symbols represent 12 tulips.
2. A bar reaching 25 is 15 more than a bar reaching 10.
3. If each symbol equals 10 votes, then 5 pizza symbols show 50 votes.
4. The scale on a bar graph helps you read the exact value each bar shows.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. If each symbol equals 5 and one row has 7 symbols while another has 3, the difference is 20.
True False
2. A bar graph uses pictures instead of bars to show data.
True False
3. In a pictograph with a key of 2, four symbols equal 6.
True False
