Pictogram is a young students graphing application, very similar to graphing in Infant video tool kit, Blog post 68.. Pictogram is owned by the school and is available to be loaded onto your classroom computer including the lovely green helpful talking parrot who acts as a prompt.
Pictogram really is a very visual starting point for graphing, and from there you could move to graphing in Infant video kit and or Excel. The graphing categories are already pre-ordained and include many Western suggestions for graphs including all the predictable ones, hair colour, eye colour, fruit, vegetables etc.
This is a very visual programme designed to scaffold children into graphing. At the top of the window are 5 icons choices which allows you to display your entered data as shown in the 3 Fruit examples.
Possibly one of the best additional features of Pictogram is that it allows the user to click on the copy icon ( the 2 text documents) and then paste the image into a Word document for example. From here the students can really begin to use their thinking and analytical skills to talk / write about the information shown in their graph.
