  1. A picture graph shows pets owned: cats 6, dogs 9, fish 4, birds 3. How many pets are there altogether?

    Answer: 22

    6 + 9 + 4 + 3 = 22 pets.

  2. A picture graph shows pets owned: cats 6, dogs 9, fish 4, birds 3. How many more dogs than birds are there?

    Answer: 6

    9 − 3 = 6 more dogs than birds.

  3. A picture graph shows pets owned: cats 6, dogs 9, fish 4, birds 3. Which pet is the most common?

    Answer: Dogs

    9 is the largest of 6, 9, 4 and 3, so dogs are the most common.

  4. A table shows stickers collected: Ali 24, Bina 18, Chandra 30, Devi 12. Who collected the fewest stickers?

    Answer: Devi

    12 is the smallest of 24, 18, 30 and 12, so Devi collected the fewest.

  5. A table shows stickers collected: Ali 24, Bina 18, Chandra 30, Devi 12. How many stickers did the four children collect in total?

    Answer: 84

    24 + 18 + 30 + 12 = 84 stickers.

  6. In a picture graph, each ★ stands for 5 books. A pupil's row has 4 stars. How many books did that pupil read?

    Answer: 20

    Each star is 5 books, so 4 × 5 = 20 books.

  7. In a picture graph, each ★ stands for 5 books. A pupil read 35 books. How many stars are in that pupil's row?

    Answer: 7

    35 ÷ 5 = 7 stars.

    Answer: Tuesday

    Wednesday sold 10, and 2 × 10 = 20, which is Tuesday's figure.
