Chapter 13, So Many Toys, introduces early data handling — sorting toys into groups and reading simple picture graphs. These questions revisit sorting and counting.
Practice Questions
Q1. Sort these toys into groups: ball, doll, car, teddy bear, ball. How many balls are there?
2 balls.
Q2. A picture graph shows 3 pictures of a car, where each picture stands for 1 toy. How many toy cars are there?
3 toy cars.
Q3. Which is more: 5 dolls or 3 dolls?
5 dolls is more.
Q4. Why might we draw a picture graph of toys instead of just listing numbers?
A picture graph lets us see and compare the number of each toy at a glance, without reading through a long list.
Q5. If you have 4 red toys and 6 blue toys, how many toys do you have in total?
4 + 6 = 10 toys in total.
Why These Help
Collecting, grouping and counting objects like toys is exactly what data handling means — organising information so it is easier to understand and compare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is sorting and counting toys considered an early form of “data handling”?
Because grouping and counting real objects like toys is the same basic idea used later to organise and compare any collection of information.
