Draw a pictograph to show balloons.

A pictograph uses pictures to show data. You can make a pictograph to show the colors of your balloons. Draw a line. On one side of the line, write "Red." On the other side, draw 5 red balloons in a row. You can do the same each color. Every graph needs a title: "Number of Balloons I have." A key shows that 1 balloon picture represents 1 balloon.
