For example
On a market pictograph, one mango picture can stand for two mangoes.
In Grade 1
Children line up real objects first, then draw one picture for each one, and only later let a single picture stand for more than one.
Watch out for
Children often count the pictures and stop there. If one mango picture stands for two mangoes, four pictures mean eight mangoes, not four.
Say it at home
Read the key together before counting anything. Ask what one picture is worth, then count.
