Data Through Pictures: the Child Reporter Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes follow Chapter 15 of NCERT Math Mela.
📺 Asking friends
Two child reporters ask 35 friends how long they watch TV. They record the answers in a table, such as 11 children for 1 hour.
🖼️ Pictographs
A shop keeper shows items with icons. One icon can stand for 5 items, so 9 icons show 45 items.
⚖️ Using a scale
A scale lets us record a large number of things with fewer icons. Items = icons × scale.
📊 Bar graphs
A bar graph shows hours spent on sleeping, school, studying and play. A taller bar means more hours.
🍽️ Food wastage
A canteen graph shows how much food is wasted each day. Reading it helps us think about saving food.
☝️ Finger lengths
Strips of paper show finger lengths, and a bar graph shows whose finger is longest.

Data Through Pictures Class 5 FAQs
What is Chapter 15 of NCERT Class 5 Maths Math Mela?
Chapter 15 is Data Through Pictures. It covers collecting data, recording it in a table, showing it in a pictograph with a scale, and showing it in a bar graph, with questions to read and compare the data.
What is data in maths for Class 5?
Data is information that we collect, such as the number of hours friends spend watching TV. We record data in a table and show it in pictographs and bar graphs.
What is a pictograph?
A pictograph shows data using pictures called icons. Each icon stands for a number of items, and a key tells how many.
What is a scale in a pictograph?
A scale tells how many items one icon stands for, such as 1 icon = 5 items. It lets us record a large number of things using fewer icons.
How do you read a pictograph with a scale?
Count the icons in a row and multiply by the scale. If 1 icon stands for 3 two-wheelers, then 8 icons show 8 x 3 = 24 two-wheelers.
What is a bar graph?
A bar graph shows data using bars. The height of each bar shows the value of that item, and the bars stand on a base line with a number line on the side.
How do you read a bar graph?
Look at the top of a bar and read across to the number line. The tallest bar is the greatest value and the shortest bar is the least value.
What is the difference between a pictograph and a bar graph?
A pictograph uses icons that are counted using a scale, while a bar graph uses bars whose height is read on a number line. Both show data in a picture.
How do you find the total from a graph?
Read each value and add them. If bars show 3, 5, 2, 7 and 4 kg, the total is 3 + 5 + 2 + 7 + 4 = 21 kg.
How do you compare two values on a graph?
Find both values and subtract the smaller from the larger. If one bar is 8 and another is 3, the first is 5 more than the second.
How do you make a bar graph?
Draw a base line and a number line, choose a scale, and draw one bar for each item with the height of its value. Then give the graph a title and label the bars.
What can children do on this page?
Children can take a 20-question online quiz with assertion and reason and case study questions, play five games, try five online activities, finish five challenges, run the Graph Lab and two virtual experiments, and fill in a 16-question practice sheet with a Show answers button.
