Teaching notes for parents and teachers
How to teach it
Read the key together, then count one row. Discuss whether a question asks for one category, all the votes, or the difference between two counts.
Example to work through together
Use the model below as you explain the example. Have your student point to the quantities as you discuss them.
Example counts: A = 5, B = 3, C = 4.
The total is 5 + 3 + 4 = 12 votes. The largest group has five votes and the smallest has three, so the difference is 5 − 3 = 2 votes.
Ask your student
What does one block represent?
If your student needs help
If the student counts categories instead of votes, have them touch each block as they count.
Choosing and using the worksheet
Each sheet includes two questions about A, two questions about the total, and two questions about the difference between the largest and smallest counts. Every graph has three groups with one through eight votes per group.
Make a practice set
Select the worksheet, answer key, or both. When both are selected, the answer key prints after the questions. Keep it separate if you want your student to work independently.
After your student finishes
Ask which counts were needed and why. Check a difference by adding it to the smaller count.
