            Looking Back


            Raju is very fond of animals. At home, he keeps the following pets :

            4 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds, 3 fish and 1 monkey. He can show the collection of

            his pets like this :






















            This diagram is called a picture graph               or pictograph       .

            A graph is a diagram that helps us to see differences quickly and easily.


            Picture graphs take a long time to draw. Raju finds it simpler to show the
            collection of his pets in blocks, like this :



                          5


                          4
                        Number  3





                          2


                          1

                               Dogs          Cats       Birds       Fishes Monkey

            We call this a block graph           or column graph         .
