The question, in short

Use a pictogram of eggs laid in April, May, June and July, where one 6-square symbol stands for 24 eggs, to read April's total, compare June with May, and add July's 52 eggs.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Find how many eggs the chickens laid in April from the pictogram.

  1. 1A whole symbol has 6 sections and stands for 24 eggs, so one section is 4 eggs
  2. 2April has one whole symbol and 4 more sections
  3. 324 + 4 × 4 = 24 + 16 = 40 eggs

Answer40

Part (b) · 2 marks

Work out how many more eggs were laid in June than in May.

  1. 1May has one whole symbol and 2 sections: 24 + 8 = 32 eggs
  2. 2June has two whole symbols and 5 sections: 48 + 20 = 68 eggs
  3. 368 − 32 = 36 more eggs

Answer36

Part (c) · 1 mark

Draw symbols on the July row to represent 52 eggs.

  1. 152 ÷ 4 = 13 sections are needed
  2. 2Two whole symbols use 12 sections, which is 48 eggs
  3. 3So draw two whole symbols and one extra section
