and has a key. The table has standard numbers with no key or pictures.
4. What is the purpose of the pictograph's key? To tell us what each smiley face represents (how
many students each one represents)
5. Describe how you would find the total number of students at Elm Street School. Count the
number of smiley faces and multiply by 10 or count by tens; if using table just add them

Favorite Type of Shoe
Sandal
Tennis Shoe
Flip Flop
Boot
Slipper
Key:
= 2 students
I choose to label my graph
“favorite type of shoe.”
My categories include sandal, tennis shoe, flip flop, boot, and slipper.
I also created my key: based on my information, I surveyed 16 students and some
categories only had one student. Therefore, I could not have a key with one shoe equal
to five because I would not be able to split 5 in half.
Last, I drew my pictures.
