Answer key · Set B
Count the Dots, Not the Numbers
13 Find 2 under the line and count the dots over it: 3 dots.
24 Find 5 under the line and count the dots over it: 4 dots.
312 Each dot is one kid. Count every dot: 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 12.
45 The tallest stack is over 5. More kids read 5 books than any other number.
5True There are no dots over 4, so no kid gave that answer.
6Plot 3 Two dots over 1 and three over 3 make five dots for five kids.
73 Find 23 under the line and count the dots over it: 3.
8one kid Each dot is one kid. The numbers under the line are the points.
96 One kid scored 21, two scored 22 and three scored 23: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
104 Two dots over 24, one over 25 and one over 26: 2 + 1 + 1 = 4.
111-D, 2-C, 3-A, 4-B Every question about kids is answered by counting dots.
12False The 23 is the points. The three dots mean 3 kids scored 23. Count all the dots to find how many kids were asked: 10.
137 Two dots over 22, three over 23 and two over 24: 2 + 3 + 2 = 7.
