How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
In a scaled picture graph, the key tells how many items each symbol stands for.
A half symbol stands for half of the number in the key.
In a scaled bar graph, read the scale first; a bar can end between two labeled lines.
To find how many more or fewer, subtract the two values; to find a total, add.
A line plot puts one X above a measurement on a number line marked in halves or fourths of an inch.
