At the school bake sale, many things were sold to raise money.  They sold 17 cookies,  22 cupcakes and 9 cakes.

A pictograph is a graph that uses pictures to communicate data.

Create a pictograph using the information about the bake sale.  Make sure your pictograph has a title, a key, and all the necessary information.

What symbol will you use for your graph?  Will each symbol be equal to 1 item or will it be equal to more than 1?
