Subject: English

Grade Level: Grade 3

Objective:
1. Identify the meaning of pictograph.
2. Shows the ability to solve simple problems presented in pictographs.
3. Interpret pictographs.

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Data Representation: This topic covers how to represent data visually through
various graphs, including pictographs. Understanding pictographs will directly help
students learn about bar graphs and line graphs, as they all serve the purpose of
visually presenting information.
2. Vocabulary Development: This topic focuses on expanding students' vocabulary
related to graphs and data representation. Knowing the meanings of terms like
"legend," "axis," and "data" will enhance their comprehension of pictographs and
their interpretation.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Mathematics - Graphing: In Mathematics, students learn to create and interpret
various types of graphs and charts, including pictographs. This connection reinforces
the objective by providing a quantitative approach to understanding pictographs,
enhancing their mathematical skills.
2. Social Studies - Survey Results: In Social Studies, students may conduct surveys
to gather data about their classmates' preferences or opinions. The ability to present
this data through pictographs will allow them to analyze and interpret the results
effectively, linking their social studies knowledge with English literacy.

Engage:
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Instructional Materials: Chart paper, markers
Energizer 1: Pictograph Relay
Divide the class into small groups. Each group will create a pictograph based on a
given set of data (e.g., favorite fruits of students). After 5 minutes, groups will present
their pictographs to the class.
Energizer 2: Pictograph Charades
Students will act out the meanings of different pictographs without using words, while
their classmates guess what they represent. This activity requires no materials and
can be done in any space.

Activities
Activity 1: Create Your Own Pictograph
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
Materials: Chart paper, colored pencils, a list of favorite animals from the class
Significance: This activity encourages creativity while applying knowledge of
pictographs.

Instructions:
1. Gather data from classmates about their favorite animals.
2. Create a pictograph representing the data using pictures for each animal.
3. Present your pictograph to the class, explaining what it shows.

Rubrics:
- Clarity of pictograph: 5 pts.
- Accuracy of data representation: 5 pts.
- Presentation skills: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What does your pictograph represent?
2. How did you choose the symbols for your pictograph?
3. Can you explain what the legend of your pictograph means?
Activity 2: Pictograph Puzzle
Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning
Materials: Printed pictographs with missing elements (e.g., missing symbols,
numbers)
Significance: This activity helps students critically analyze pictographs and solve
problems related to data interpretation.
Instructions:
1. Distribute pictographs with missing information.
2. Work in pairs to fill in the missing elements based on the context of the pictograph.
3. Share your completed pictographs with another pair and discuss your reasoning.

Rubrics:
- Understanding of the pictograph: 5 pts.
- Completeness of the pictograph: 5 pts.
- Collaboration with partner: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What information was missing from your pictograph?
2. How did you decide what to include to complete it?
3. What challenges did you face in interpreting the pictograph?

Explain:
Activity 1 - Pictographs use pictures to represent data, making it easier to
understand and analyze information visually. Students can recognize patterns in
data through pictographs, which enhances their problem-solving skills.
Activity 2 - Understanding the legend of a pictograph is crucial as it explains what
each symbol represents, allowing for accurate interpretation. Students learn to
connect the visual representation with real-world data.
Activity 3 - Pictographs help simplify complex information, making it accessible to a
broader audience. Recognizing the significance of these visual tools can deepen
students' comprehension of data literacy.

Elaborate:
Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning
1. Task: Students will conduct a mini-survey in their community (e.g., family or
friends) about a topic of interest (e.g., favorite sports).
2. Task: Students will create a pictograph based on the survey results and present it
to the class.
Discussion: Discuss the importance of data collection and representation in
everyday life, emphasizing how pictographs can help communicate information
effectively.
Evaluate:
Teaching Strategy: Formative Assessment

Questions:
1. What is a pictograph, and how does it differ from other types of graphs?
2. How can you solve problems using information from a pictograph?
3. Why is it important to understand the legend of a pictograph?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How might a pictograph be misleading?
2. What are the advantages of using pictographs over traditional numerical data?
3. In what situations would pictographs be the most effective way to present data?

Answers:
1. A pictograph can be misleading if the symbols do not accurately represent the
data or if the scale is not clear.
2. Pictographs make information visually accessible and can convey trends quickly,
which may not be as evident in raw numbers.
3. Pictographs are effective in situations where visual representation can enhance
understanding, like in presentations to younger audiences or for quick data
summaries.

Assignment:
1. Create a pictograph based on your favorite hobbies or activities. Include a legend
and present it to a family member, explaining what it represents. Use the skills
learned in class to ensure clarity and accuracy in your pictograph.
