Data & Tally Charts — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A table shows Monday 3, Tuesday 5, Wednesday 2. The biggest day is Tuesday.
Tuesday has five, which is bigger than Monday's three or Wednesday's two, so Tuesday is the largest.
2. Using the same table, the smallest number of items falls on Wednesday.
Wednesday has two items, which is a smaller total than Monday's three or Tuesday's five count.
3. Monday 3 plus Tuesday 5 gives a two-day total of 8.
Three Monday items plus five Tuesday items equals eight, the combined two-day total from the table.
4. Adding all three days 3, 5, and 2 gives a weekly total of 10.
Three plus five plus two equals ten, the full three-day total shown in this Grade 1 number table.
5. Tuesday 5 minus Wednesday 2 shows a difference of 3.
Five Tuesday items minus two Wednesday items equals three, showing how many more fell on Tuesday.
6. If Thursday adds 4 more to the table, the new total becomes 14.
The first three days already total ten, and adding Thursday's four more gives a new total of fourteen.
7. A data table uses numbers instead of tally marks to show totals quickly.
Tables often list number totals like three or five directly, so we do not need to count strokes at all.
8. Tuesday 5 and a new day with 5 more would be equal.
Five and five share the exact same total, so those two days would be equal rows in the table.
9. If Monday dropped to 1, the new biggest day would still be Tuesday.
Tuesday still holds five, larger than Monday's one or Wednesday's two, so Tuesday stays biggest.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Monday total
→ 3
3
Tuesday total
→ 5
5
Wednesday total
→ 2
2
Three-day grand total
→ 10
10
Pairing each day with its own number builds careful table reading and simple addition skills early.
