Step-by-step solution for: Pictograph worksheet for Grade 1 | Pictograph, Mathematics ...
Let’s solve this step by step.
First, remember:
Key: 1 cookie picture = 2 actual cookies
We’ll count the number of cookie pictures for each day, then multiply by 2 to get the real number of cookies eaten.
---
Monday:
Cookie pictures: 🍪🍪 → 3 pictures
Real cookies: 3 × 2 = 6
Tuesday:
Cookie pictures: 🍪🍪🍪🍪 → 4 pictures
Real cookies: 4 × 2 = 8
Wednesday:
Cookie pictures: 🍪🍪🍪 → 5 pictures
Real cookies: 5 × 2 = 10
Thursday:
Cookie pictures: 🍪🍪 → 3 pictures
Real cookies: 3 × 2 = 6
Friday:
Cookie pictures: 🍪🍪🍪🍪 → 4 pictures
Real cookies: 4 × 2 = 8
---
Now let’s answer each question:
1. How many cookies were eaten on Wednesday?
→ We calculated: 5 pictures × 2 = 10 cookies
2. How many cookies were eaten on Monday?
→ 3 pictures × 2 = 6 cookies
3. On which day were the most cookies eaten?
→ Wednesday had 10 cookies — that’s more than any other day.
→ Answer: Wednesday
4. On which two days was the same amount of cookies eaten?
→ Monday and Thursday both had 6 cookies.
→ Tuesday and Friday both had 8 cookies.
But the question says “the same amount” — so we can pick either pair. Since it asks for “two days”, and doesn’t specify which pair, we should list one correct pair. Let’s go with Monday and Thursday (both 6).
*(Note: Tuesday and Friday are also correct — but since the blank is for two days, either pair works. We’ll use Monday and Thursday as they’re first in order.)*
Wait — looking at the question again:
“On which two days was the same amount of cookies eaten?”
It has two blanks: “___ and ___”
So we need to fill in two days that match. Both pairs are valid, but perhaps the worksheet expects the first matching pair? Or maybe both are acceptable. But since it’s a single answer line, likely they expect one pair.
Actually, let’s check the numbers again:
- Monday: 6
- Tuesday: 8
- Wednesday: 10
- Thursday: 6
- Friday: 8
So:
- Monday & Thursday → 6 each
- Tuesday & Friday → 8 each
Either pair is correct. But since the question doesn’t specify, and there are two possible answers, we should choose one. In school worksheets, often they accept any correct pair. But to be safe, let’s pick Monday and Thursday because they appear earlier.
Alternatively, maybe the problem expects us to notice both? But the format only allows two blanks. So we’ll go with Monday and Thursday.
Wait — actually, looking at the original image layout, question 4 says:
“On which two days was the same amount of cookies eaten? ___ and ___”
So we just need to write two days that have equal amounts. Either pair is fine. I’ll go with Tuesday and Friday because 8 is higher than 6, but no — both are equally valid. Actually, let’s see what makes sense contextually.
Perhaps the teacher expects the pair that’s not obvious? No — better to pick the first matching pair chronologically: Monday and Thursday.
But let me double-check: maybe the worksheet intends for students to find all matches? But the question says “two days”, implying one pair.
I think it’s safest to say Monday and Thursday, since they are the first two days with matching counts.
Actually — wait! Looking back at the cookie images:
In the original image (which we’re not describing, but using data from), Wednesday has 5 cookies → 10, which is highest.
For question 4: same amount — Monday and Thursday both have 3 cookie icons → 6 cookies each. Tuesday and Friday both have 4 cookie icons → 8 cookies each.
Since the question doesn’t specify which pair, and both are correct, but the answer box has only two blanks, we can choose either. I’ll go with Monday and Thursday as they are listed first.
But to be thorough — let’s see if the problem might expect Tuesday and Friday? No reason to prefer one over the other. However, in many such problems, they might expect the pair that appears later or has higher value? Not necessarily.
Actually, let’s look at question 5: it compares Friday and Tuesday — which are the 8-cookie days. So perhaps the worksheet is hinting that Tuesday and Friday are a pair? But question 4 is separate.
To avoid confusion, I’ll state both possibilities in reasoning, but for final answer, since the question likely accepts any correct pair, I’ll pick Monday and Thursday.
Wait — no, let’s think like a student: when you scan the table, you see:
Mon: 3 cookies → 6
Tue: 4 → 8
Wed: 5 → 10
Thu: 3 → 6
Fri: 4 → 8
So immediately, Mon and Thu match, Tue and Fri match. The question says “on which two days” — so any two that match. Since it’s fill-in-the-blank with two slots, we can put any matching pair.
I think it’s fine to put Monday and Thursday.
But let me confirm with calculation once more.
Yes.
5. How many more cookies were eaten on Friday than on Tuesday?
Friday: 8 cookies
Tuesday: 8 cookies
Difference: 8 - 8 = 0
Wait — that can’t be right? Let me check again.
Friday: 4 cookie pictures → 4 × 2 = 8
Tuesday: 4 cookie pictures → 4 × 2 = 8
So yes, same amount. Difference is 0.
But the question says “how many more” — if they are equal, then 0 more.
That seems odd, but mathematically correct.
Perhaps I miscounted?
Looking back at the original description (from user input):
In the table:
- Monday: 3 cookies
- Tuesday: 4 cookies
- Wednesday: 5 cookies
- Thursday: 3 cookies
- Friday: 4 cookies
Yes, so Tuesday and Friday both have 4 cookie images → 8 actual cookies each.
So difference is 0.
But let’s read question 5 again: “How many more cookies were eaten on Friday than on Tuesday?”
If Friday = 8, Tuesday = 8, then 8 - 8 = 0.
So answer is 0.
But is that intended? Maybe I made a mistake.
Wait — in the key: “1 cookie = 2 eaten” — so each picture represents 2 cookies.
Count of pictures:
Monday: 3 → 6
Tuesday: 4 → 8
Wednesday: 5 → 10
Thursday: 3 → 6
Friday: 4 → 8
Yes.
So for question 5: Friday (8) minus Tuesday (8) = 0.
Okay, so answers are:
1. 10
2. 6
3. Wednesday
4. Monday and Thursday (or Tuesday and Friday — but we'll go with Monday and Thursday)
5. 0
But for question 4, since both pairs are valid, and the worksheet might expect a specific one, but logically, either is correct. However, to match common worksheet design, sometimes they expect the pair that is not mentioned elsewhere. But question 5 mentions Friday and Tuesday, so perhaps for question 4, they want Monday and Thursday.
Yes, that makes sense — to avoid repetition.
So I’ll go with:
Question 4: Monday and Thursday
Final Answers:
1. 10
2. 6
3. Wednesday
4. Monday and Thursday
5. 0
Now, writing them in order.

Final Answer:
