Pictograph
A pictograph uses pictures or symbols to represent information. We write a legend at the bottom of the graph to indicate the number of quantity each picture or symbol represents.
Half of a picture or symbol represents half the number of a given quantity.

The gram (m) is used to measure the weight of light objects.
The kilogram (kg) is used to measure the weight of heavy objects.

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, March 29, 2008 is HIGH. I have a photo that represents the word high differently.
Congratulations to the home schooled students of CFA for their Graduation and Moving Up Day yesterday, March 28, 2008. We started the event with a Holy Mass. Below is a photo of the son on stage as he recited “Where Go the Boats” a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson.
At first I was doubting if he has enough guts to recite a poem on stage because it was my idea to volunteer that he will do an intermission number for this program. My goal was to see if he is up to the challenge to speak in front of strangers. He didn’t disappoint us and the moment seem so fast it was over in seconds 😀 That gave us a different kind of “high”. We are proud of you, son 🙂 (Sorry the photo is a little blurred, that was taken from the pc because that was from a video).
Length, Height and Distance
Length answers the question “How long?”
Width answers the question “How wide?”
Height answers the question “How high?” or “How tall?”
Distance answers the question “How far?”
We use the same unit of measure to compare lengths, widths, heights and distances accurately.
The length, width, and height of small objects are measured in centimeters.
We write cm for centimeter.
The length, width, and height of large objects, and long distances are measured in meters.
We write m for meter.
Below is a photo of a metal and wood playground equipment with my three children on it.
