Yamini did a project 'Animals and Birds'. She asked each child of her class about one favourite pet animal.
She used tally marks to record each answer. For example if someone said 'cat' she put one line
| in front of 'cats'. When someone said 'cat' again, she added a line. So
means two cats and
means 5 cats. In all 24 children said 'cat' was their favourite animal. Help Yamini complete the table.
• Look at the tally marks and write the number for each animal in the table. How many children in all did Yamini talk to?
• Which is the most favourite pet animal in this table?
• Which pet will you like to have? What will you name it? Which other animals can be kept at home? Discuss.
