2.1 Adding, Subtracting, and Working with Data

The picture shows how Jada sorted the shapes on her table.

Use the picture to answer the questions:

1. How many squares were on the table?_______
2. How many triangles were on the table?_______
3. Which shape has the smallest number?_______

The table shows the favorite magical powers of some students.

• How many more students prefer being invisible to flying?
• How many fewer students prefer flying to reading minds?

Here are some shapes:

Fill out the chart showing the shapes.

Find the value of each expression.

1. \(9 - 2\)
2. \(5 + 3\)
3. \(2 + 8\)
4. \(7 - 4\)
5. \(10 - 3\)
6. \(1 + 6\)

Jada is playing “What’s Behind my Back?” with Han. Han has 10 cubes and shows Jada these connecting cubes.

1. How many connecting cubes are behind Han’s back?
2. What’s an addition equation that you can write that matches the game?
3. What’s a subtraction equation that you can write that matches the game?

Find the number that makes each equation true. Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.

1. \(20 - 10 =  \underline{\hspace{0.9cm}}\)
2. \(17 +  \underline{\hspace{0.9cm}} = 20\)
3. \(20 = 5 +  \underline{\hspace{0.9cm}}\)
4. \(7 = 20 -  \underline{\hspace{0.9cm}}\)

Here are the numbers on seven cards:

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 9

1. Choose three of the numbers to add to get as close as you can to 20.
2. Write an equation to show your choice.

Find the value of each sum. Show your thinking using drawings, words, or numbers.

1. \(31 + 15\)
2. \(17 + 8\)
3. \(26 + 17\)

Choose 3 of these 7 cards and get as close to 20 as possible.

• 1
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 7
• 8
• 9

1. Can you make 20?
2. Can you make 20 in more than 1 way?
3. Can you make 20 using the 1?

Clare has a set of cards numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
She picks out seven of the cards. Clare was NOT able to make 20 with 3 of her 7 cards. Which cards do you think she picked out if she was NOT able to make 20?

Here is how Diego recorded his classmates’ favorite colors:

Create a representation to show Diego’s data.

The picture graph shows the favorite colors of some students.

Select 3 statements that are true about the data recorded in the graph.

A: More students like green than any of the other colors.

B: 5 students chose blue as their favorite color.

C: 2 more students chose blue than orange.

D: 22 students voted in all.

E: 3 fewer students chose blue than green.
 

The picture graph shows the pattern blocks that were used to create a pattern.

Select 3 questions that you can answer with the graph.
 

A: Are there more trapezoids than squares?

B: Are all of the triangles together in the pattern?

C: How many hexagons are there?

D: How many more triangles are there than rhombuses?

E: How many squares and trapezoids are there in the shape altogether?
 

Use the bar graph to answer the questions about the trees in the park.

1. How many trees are there altogether?

2. How many more maple trees are there than willow trees?
3. Which kind of tree has the smallest number?

The table shows the fish in a tank.

name	number
goldfish	3
guppy	9
angel fish	4
molly	5

Make a bar graph showing the data from the table.

The bar graph shows the favorite seasons of some students.

1. Write two questions that you can answer using the graph.

2. Answer your questions.

The data display about some shapes in a bag is not finished. It shows the kinds of shapes, but not how many of each are in the bag.

triangles	squares	circles
\(\phantom{\hspace{2.5cm} \\ \hspace{2.5cm}}\)	\(\phantom{\hspace{2.5cm} \\ \hspace{2.5cm}}\)	\(\phantom{\hspace{2.5cm} \\ \hspace{2.5cm}}\)

Create a set of data about how many shapes are in the bag that makes all of these statements true:

1. There are more than 15 shapes altogether, but less than 25 shapes.
2. There are 6 more squares than circles.
3. There are 7 fewer circles than triangles.

1. Gather data at school or at home and make a graph showing the data.
2. Ask a math question that can be answered with the data.
3. Trade with a partner and answer each other’s questions.

1. How could Han improve the diagram?
2. If Noah listened to 7 songs, how many songs do you think Elena listened to? Explain your reasoning.

The graph shows the number of friends these students had at their birthday parties.

1. How many fewer friends were at Elena’s party than at Jada’s party?
2. Write an equation to show how you found the difference.

The bar graph shows the number of connecting cubes of different colors in a bag.

1. Use the bar graph to complete the tape diagram.

   

   

2. How many fewer green connecting cubes than brown connecting cubes are in the bag? Show or explain your reasoning.

There are 25 crickets chirping in the front yard.

There are 16 fewer crickets chirping in the front yard than in the back yard.
