In this activity, students learned how to organize and represent information using pictograms and bar graphs. As a class, students collected data on a familiar topic (such as favorite animals, sports, or school activities).
 They first created a pictogram using symbols to show quantities, ensuring that each symbol represented one item or a fixed amount. After completing the pictogram, students used the same data to build a bar graph, identifying the categories and comparing the heights of the bars.
 Through this activity, students practiced interpreting visual information, answering questions about which categories had the most or the least items, and explaining their observations using simple mathematical vocabulary.
