The question, in short

Use a pictogram, where one full symbol stands for 8 dogs, to read breed counts, add a row for 10 Spaniels, and compare Cockapoos with Bulldogs.

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

Part (b) · 1 mark

Draw symbols for 10 Spaniels on the pictogram, using the key to work out the amount.

  1. 1The key shows that one full symbol represents 8 dogs
  2. 2A symbol is made of 4 small squares, so one small square represents 8 ÷ 4 = 2 dogs
  3. 310 ÷ 2 = 5, so 10 spaniels need 5 small squares
  4. 45 small squares is one full symbol (4 squares) and one more small square
  5. 5On the Spaniel row draw one full symbol and one small square

Answer1 full symbol and 1 small square (5 small squares in total)

Part (c) · 1 mark

Work out how many more Cockapoos than Bulldogs Lucy saw, using the pictogram.

  1. 1Key: one full symbol = 8 dogs, so a quarter of a symbol = 2 dogs
  2. 2Cockapoos: 4¼ symbols = 4.25 × 8 = 34 dogs
  3. 3Bulldogs: 1¾ symbols = 1.75 × 8 = 14 dogs
  4. 4Difference: 34 − 14 = 20
