Question
Yamini did a project ‘Animals and Birds’. She asked each child in her class about one favorite pet animal.
She used tally marks to record each answer. For example, if someone said ‘cat’ she means 5 cats. In all 24 children said ‘cat’ was their favorite animal. Help Yamini complete the table.
| Animal | Tally marks | Number |
| Cats |  |
24 |
| Dogs |  |
|
| Rabbits |  |
|
| Cows |  |
|
| Parrots |  |
|
| Goats |  |
|
| Squirrel |  |
- Look at the tally marks and write the number for each animal on the table. How many children in all did Yamini talk to?
- Which is the most favorite pet animal on this table?
- Which pet will you like to have? What will you name it? Which other animals can be kept at home? Discuss.
Solution
| Animal | Tally marks | Number |
| Cats | |
24 |
| Dogs | |
32 |
| Rabbits | |
10 |
| Cows | |
22 |
| Parrots | |
8 |
| Goats | |
20 |
| Squirrel | |
15 |
- Total number of students
= 24 + 32 + 10 + 22 + 8 + 20 + 15
= 131
Thus, Yamini talked to a total of 131 students. - The dog is the most favourite pet animal.
- I would like to have a dog. I will name it Bruno. The other animals that can be kept at home are cats, rabbits, parrots, etc.
