Let’s go step by step to solve this pictograph problem.
First, let’s count how many apples each child picked:
- Hannah: 5 apples (count the apple pictures next to her name)
- Peter: 5 apples
- Mary: 8 apples
- Andrew: 3 apples
Now, answer each question one by one:
1. Who picked the most apples?
→ Mary has 8, which is more than anyone else. So,
Mary.
2. Which two children picked the same amount?
→ Hannah and Peter both have 5 apples. So,
Hannah and Peter.
3. Who picked the least amount of apples?
→ Andrew has only 3, which is the smallest number. So,
Andrew.
4. How many more apples did Hannah pick than Andrew?
→ Hannah: 5, Andrew: 3 → 5 - 3 =
2
5. How many fewer apples did Andrew pick than Mary?
→ Mary: 8, Andrew: 3 → 8 - 3 =
5
Next, draw tally marks for each child.
Tally marks are grouped in fives: four vertical lines, then a diagonal line across them for the fifth.
- Hannah: 5 → |||| /
- Peter: 5 → |||| /
- Mary: 8 → |||| / |||
- Andrew: 3 → |||
Finally, how many apples were picked in all?
Add them up:
Hannah (5) + Peter (5) + Mary (8) + Andrew (3) =
5 + 5 = 10
10 + 8 = 18
18 + 3 =
21
Final Answer:
Who picked the most apples? Mary
Which two children picked the same amount? Hannah and Peter
Who picked the least amount of apples? Andrew
How many more apples did Hannah pick than Andrew? 2
How many fewer apples did Andrew pick than Mary? 5
Tally marks:
Hannah: |||| /
Peter: |||| /
Mary: |||| / |||
Andrew: |||
How many apples were picked in all? 21
