Question

Study the tally chart to answer the questions.


How many more children like math than reading?

• A. $2$ children
• B. $3$ children
• C. $5$ children
• D. $4$ children

Answer 1

The correct option is D $4$ children

Say: Let’s look at the given tally chart and read the data to answer the question.

Steps:
The given tally chart shows the number of children that like each subject.
Using the whiteboard, tell the student that each
means $1$ and each
means $5.$
On reading the data,
Math $=5+1=6$
Reading $=2$
Science $=2$
To find how many more children chose math than reading, we will subtract the number of children that like reading, i.e., $2$ from the number of children that like math, i.e., $6$.
So, $6–2=4$
Therefore, $4$ more children like math than reading.
Hence, Option C is the answer.
