Mason asked his class to choose
what they usually ate for breakfast. What do most students eat for
breakfast? Fruit, toast, or eggs. How many students eat fruit? How many more students eat toast
than fruit?
We know that Mason has asked his
class what they eat for breakfast: fruit, eggs, or toast. We’re told that each picture of a
pink circle stands for one student. We have to answer three different
questions about the information in the picture graph. The first question is asking us,
“What do most students eat for breakfast? Fruit, toast, or eggs.”
To find out which category or which
type of breakfast is the most popular, we’re looking for the category with the most
pictures of pink circles. Which category is it? It’s eggs. We can see without counting that
there are more pictures of pink circles next to eggs than there are next to fruit or
toast. This means that eggs are the most
popular type of breakfast. Most students eat eggs for
breakfast.
The next question is asking us how
many students eat fruit for breakfast. Remember, each picture of a pink
circle stands for one student. There are two pink circles in the
fruit category, which stands for two students.
The last question asks us how many
more students eat toast than fruit. We need to compare the fruit and
toast categories. Two children like fruit and four
like toast. Four is two more than two. There are two more circles in the
toast category than there are in the fruit category. Two more students eat toast than
fruit.
