About Read the Chart
A colorful bar chart shows a few fruits, with a number scale up the side. Your child reads how tall a bar is or finds the most and the fewest, as an up or down arrow asks. The oldest kids also work out the difference between two bars.
How to play
- Read each bar against the numbers along the side.
- Tap the fruit with the most when the arrow points up, the fewest when down.
- On a computer, the keys 1, 2, 3 and up pick the answers in order.
