Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 5 chapter "Data Through Pictures". A scale lets one icon stand for several items (1 icon = 5 items), so large numbers need fewer icons. In a bar graph, the height of each bar is read against the numbers on the side. All figures in the graph questions are invented for practice.
