Data Handling: the School Survey Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes are written for this page.
📝 Collecting data
Data is information we collect by asking questions. A survey asks many people the same question.
✍️ Tally marks
We make a mark for every answer. Four lines and a slanted line make a group of 5, which makes counting quick.
🗂️ Tables
A table puts the totals in rows and columns. It keeps the data neat and easy to read.
🖼️ Pictographs
A pictograph uses pictures. The key tells us how many things one picture stands for.
📊 Bar graphs
A bar graph uses bars. A taller bar means a greater value and the scale tells us how much.
📖 Case studies
Real surveys give many numbers. Read the graph, then add, subtract and compare the values.

Data Handling Class 5 FAQs
What is data handling in Class 5 maths?
Data handling is collecting facts and numbers, arranging them in a table or tally chart, and showing them in a graph. Children then read the graph to answer questions.
What is a pictograph?
A pictograph shows data with pictures. A key tells us what each picture stands for, so if one picture means 10 ice creams, 5 pictures mean 50.
What is a bar graph?
A bar graph shows data with bars of different heights on a scale. The taller the bar, the greater the value.
What are tally marks and how do you count them?
Tally marks count items in groups of five. Four lines are crossed by a fifth slanted line, so two groups and 2 more marks make 12.
How do you read a bar graph?
Look at the bottom for the names and at the side for the scale. Find the top of a bar and read across to the scale to get its value.
How do you read a pictograph with a half picture?
A half picture stands for half the value of the key. If one picture is 10, then half a picture is 5.
What is the key or scale in a graph?
The key of a pictograph tells the value of one picture. The scale of a bar graph tells the value of each step on the side.
What is the difference between a pictograph and a bar graph?
A pictograph uses pictures and a key, while a bar graph uses bars and a scale. Both show the same kind of data.
How do you collect data in a survey?
Ask a question to many people and record each answer with a tally mark. Then count the marks and write the totals in a table.
How do you find the total and the difference from a graph?
Add all the values to get the total. Subtract the smaller value from the larger to get the difference.
Why do we use graphs to show data?
Graphs make numbers easy to see and compare quickly. We can spot the highest, the lowest and the pattern at a glance.
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 Data Handling Lab and two virtual experiments, and fill in a 16-question practice sheet with a Show answers button.
