🎯 The Picture Graph: A picture graph has categories (like "Apples", "Bananas", "Grapes"), and next to them, it draws pictures to show the amount. * Category 1 (Apples): 🍎🍎🍎 (3 apples) * Category 2 (Bananas): 🍌 (1 banana) * Category 3 (Grapes): 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇 (5 grapes)
Matching Data to Graphs: If a story says: "I saw 4 dogs and 2 cats", you must look for the graph that has exactly 4 dog pictures and 2 cat pictures. If a graph shows 3 dogs, it's the WRONG graph!
