Understanding Data and Data Collection

Data is any collection of facts, numbers, measures, observations, or descriptions that convey information
Examples of data include: favourite colours of classmates, weights of students, number of books read
Data collection involves asking questions and recording responses systematically

Pictographs

Pictographs represent data using pictures or symbols instead of numbers
Each symbol represents a specific number of items (this is called the scale or key)
One symbol can represent 1 unit or multiple units (e.g., one symbol = 5 students)

Bar Graphs

Bar graphs use rectangular bars to represent data where length/height shows frequency
All bars have the same width with equal spacing between them
Bars can be drawn horizontally or vertically

Creating and Interpreting Visual Data

Choose pictographs for smaller data sets and when visual impact is important
Choose bar graphs for larger data sets and precise comparisons
Proper scale selection is crucial for both pictographs and bar graphs
