 A map tells you where a place is located. It tells you which way to go,
which direction and helps you get from one direction to another. A map is read
with the help of a legend and compass rose.
Pictograph is a symbol or picture representing things or ideas. It also
uses a legend as an explanation of the symbol or picture used.
Tables and graphs are visual representations. They are used to organize
information to show patterns and relationships. A graph shows this information
by representing it as a shape. Researchers and scientists often
use tables and graphs to report findings from their research.
