Answer guide · AC9M1ST02

  1. 2 more dogs.
  2. Both categories have the same frequency: four each.
  3. Three labelled rows with 2, 4 and 1 equal-sized symbols; key: one symbol represents one response.
  4. Green is most common, with 4 responses. The total is 2 + 4 + 1 = 7.

If help is needed: Bigger pictures do not represent more children. In a one-to-one display, count the symbols and keep them the same size.
