Solving One- & Two-Step Problems from a Frequency Table Dot Plot Pictograph or Bar Graph
T.I.P.S.
Students must be able to solve problems involving usually addition and subtraction that require one or two steps. They must be able to interpret categorical data from a frequency table, dot plot, pictograph, or bar graph with scaled intervals to solve these problems.
Example
Logan was helping his grandparents with their garden. He graphed the quantity or amount of each variety of vegetable they harvested in the garden.
a) How many tomatoes and peppers were harvested from the garden?
b) Which two vegetables types when added together had more than 100 vegetables harvested?
c) How many vegetables would need to be harvested to reach their harvest goal of 250? ]
