Max Maths, Year 4, Learn together, Reading and making tables (3)

In a Max Maths exercise for Year 4 students, the task involves reading and interpreting data from a table. The table in question is the result of a survey conducted by a student named Samir, who has tallied the favourite fruits of his classmates. The fruits listed are bananas, pineapples, oranges, apples, and mangoes, with corresponding numbers of learners who favor each fruit. According to the table, mangoes are favoured by 5 learners, which answers the question about the number of people who like mangoes the most.

The exercise further explores the data by asking which fruit is the most popular. With the highest tally of 8, oranges are identified as the most popular fruit among the learners. In another comparison, the exercise asks how many more people prefer pineapples over apples. The difference is calculated to be 2 people, as 3 learners like pineapples compared to only 1 who prefers apples. Lastly, to determine the total number of learners in Samir's class, all the numbers in the table are summed up, resulting in 21. Including Samir, the class size is confirmed to be 22 learners in total. This set of questions and answers helps students practice their skills in reading and making tables, as well as performing simple arithmetic operations.
