Question Video: Using Picture Graphs with Two Categories to Compare and Count Mathematics • 1st Grade

Video Transcript

Benjamin made a picture graph to show how many children came to the after-school club. The number of boys is more than, less than, or the same as the number of girls.

We have to complete this sentence. We need to use the information shown in the picture graph to work out if the number of boys is more, less, or the same as the number of girls. The picture graph shows us how many children are in the after-school club. It has two categories, boys and girls. And we’re told that each picture of a smiley face stands for one child. How many smiley-face pictures are there in the boys’ category? One, two, three, four. Now, we know there are four boys in the after-school club, and there are one, two, three, four girls in the after-school club. The number of boys is the same as the number of girls, four boys and four girls.

We read the information in the picture graph. We compared the number of boys and the number of girls. And we found that the number of boys is the same as the number of girls.
