Concept and Helping Material

Big Idea
Read for meaning. Identify the topic, connect details, and use evidence to answer questions.

Read

A class asked ten children how they came to school. Six walked, three rode a bus, and one came by car. A table helped the class compare the answers. Walking was the most common answer in this small group.

The totals add to ten, which matches the number of children asked. This check can catch recording mistakes. The question also needs to be clear: a child might walk to a bus stop and then ride the bus. The class decided to record the main part of each journey.
