    5. 35 βˆ’ 20 = 15 stickers.
  20. Answer to Question 20

    1. Cats and fish together have 24 βˆ’ 10 = 14 votes. If cats have 4 more than fish, fish + fish + 4 = 14, so fish + fish = 10 and fish = 5. Cats = 9. Cats 9 and fish 5. Check: 10 + 9 + 5 = 24.
    2. First row: 6 Γ— 4 = 24 children. Half is 12. 12 Γ· 4 = 3 stars.
    3. Halfway between 6 and 8 is 7.
    4. Yes, the longest tally has the most marks, so it shows the item with the most votes. She is right, provided the tally is counted correctly.

How to use these Year 2 pictograms worksheet answers

First, try every question on the worksheet without looking. Then compare your working with the solution line by line, not only the final answer. When your answer is different, find the first step that changes, because that is where the mistake is. After that, read the matching part of the pictograms, tally charts and block diagrams lesson again. Finally, check that the method is secure with the quiz or the test.

Also, the Year 2 pictograms worksheet answers are available as a PDF, so you can mark printed work quickly. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday. In short, these Year 2 pictograms worksheet answers show every step, so nothing is left unexplained.
