M2.7.2 For the adult
Pictograms with a key
The chart has a half circle in it. What does half a circle count?
What this chapter teaches
A key says what one picture is worth, so read the key first. Count the pictures and multiply by the key. A half picture is worth half the key.
Three questions to ask
There is no one right wording. Listen for the idea.
- What does the key tell you, and why read it first?
- Each circle is 2 and a row has 4 circles and half a circle. How many is that?
- How would you draw 5 when each circle is worth 2?
After the chapter, the learner can
- Read a pictogram where one picture stands for 2 or 5
- Draw a pictogram with a key, using half pictures where needed
What they copy into their notebook
Read the key first. It says what one picture is worth. Count the pictures, then multiply by the key. A half picture is half the key.
