Frequency table
Minutes practiced. 5 minutes: 1 student. 10 minutes: 2 students. 15 minutes: 3 students. 20 minutes: 3 students. 25 minutes: 7 students.

Frequency table
Goals scored. 2 goals: 2 players. 3 goals: 2 players. 4 goals: 3 players. 5 goals: 4 players. 6 goals: 7 players.
Milo lists the goals scored by 18 players in a season. What is the median number of goals?
Noah graphs two plants on one line graph. Which plant grew faster, and by how much each week?
- Plant A, by 4 cm each week, because 12 cm minus 8 cm is 4 cm.
- Plant A, by 1 cm each week, because 3 cm each week beats 2 cm.
- Neither: both plants end at 14 cm, so they must have grown equally fast.
- Plant B, because it started taller than Plant A and stayed ahead the whole time.
Pia graphs two sunflowers on one line graph. Which sunflower grew faster, and by how much each week?
- Neither: both sunflowers end at 19 cm, so they grew equally.
- Sunflower A, because it started taller than Sunflower B did.
- Sunflower B, by 5 cm each week, because 15 cm minus 10 cm is 5 cm.
- Sunflower B, by 1 cm each week, because 3 cm each week beats 2 cm.
Tala graphs two flowers on one line graph. Which flower grew faster, and by how much each week?
- Flower A, because it ends taller than Flower B at week 4.
- Neither: both grew 3 cm each week, so they grew at the same rate.
- Flower A, because it started taller and stays taller than Flower B.
- Flower A, by 6 cm each week, because 24 minus 18 is 6.
Zee wants to show how the temperature changed hour by hour on one hot day. Which display is best?
- A double bar graph, because each hour gets its own pair of bars to compare.
- A line graph, because it joins the hours in order and shows the changes.
- A frequency table, because it counts how often each temperature appears.
- A double line graph, because two lines show twice as much of the day.
Bo wants to compare how two plants grew week by week. Which display is best?
- A line graph with one line, because one line is the easiest to read for plants.
- A double bar graph, because each week needs a pair of bars for the two plants.
- A frequency table, because it counts how many plants there are each week.
- A double line graph, because each plant gets its own line that shows growth.
Esme wants to compare how many dogs, cats and fish two classes own. Which display is best?
- A frequency table, because it adds up the counts for both classes together.
- A double bar graph, because it shows both classes side by side for each pet.
- A line graph, because the line joins the dogs, cats and fish in a row.
- A double line graph, because two lines compare the two classes for each pet.
