The table shows how much there is of each thing.
Below it is an empty bar chart with boxes.
For each thing, colour in as many boxes as the table says.
One box means exactly 1.
Example: The table says "Non-fiction: 8".
You colour in 8 boxes in the non-fiction column, from bottom to top.
The coloured-in bars show the solution.
Example
- Mystery: 6
- Fairy tale: 4
- Non-fiction: 8
- Non-fiction
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Transfer data from a table into a bar chart and understand both representations.
Common pitfalls
Children sometimes colour in one box too many or too few. Tip: count out loud while colouring and compare with the table at the end.
How to practice at home
Count things at home (pens, cups, books) and transfer the numbers into a box chart you draw yourselves.
