<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">What is a **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">pictograph **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">?
 * A pictograph is a graph that uses pictures to show how many there are of something.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">What is a ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">tally chart **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">?
