Hello, MI3 M here. I hope you are all well and
enjoying life! I have a problem that I would
really, really like your help with. Here at my
base we have two scientists in charge of
representing our data. Their names are Agent A.
Weed and Agent C. Weed (they are brother and
sister).

• They are in the middle of analysing some super
  sized data to use in our next top secret mission.
  Unfortunately, they have been called away on
  another top secret mission and have asked me to
  interpret the data!!
• My problem is that they left me data in a tally
  chart and it makes no sense to me!
• Please would you help me out? I zapped a copy of
  the tally chart and special instructions for
  representing the data. See you later

Hi All, M here again.
Fantastic, youve completed all three missions.
Secret Agent A. Weed and his sister C. Weed told
me that I need to find a symbol that could
represent 5 books. I cant imagine it! Can you
help me to choose a symbol that will be clear and
can any easily represent 5 books?
Mission Four Work in pairs to find a symbol that
could represent 5 books. Once you have agreed on
a symbol, redraw the pictogram using your symbol
for 5 books.

What difficulties are there with making
pictograms?
Which symbols to use?
Ensuring that the symbols are the same size?
choosing a symbol that is clear and can any
easily represent the information?
