Compare table values

The skill map puts read a table cell first. A comparison requires accurate cell retrieval. If compare table values keeps going wrong, that is the thing to check before doing more of this one.

"How many more" never means add the two figures together. The wrong answers on this skill are built out of that, not out of random numbers, so it is worth naming out loud before your child meets it under time pressure.

Point at the next move rather than explaining the whole rule. Read both April seedlings figures out of the table first, then take the smaller one away from the larger one.

The skill map draws the line here: One comparison or difference only. A question past that line is testing a different named maths skill, which is worth knowing before you spend a week practising the wrong one.

The data strand holds 9 skills that are tested together, and the pages next to compare table values are decode a pictogram key, interpret a pie-chart sector and read a bar-chart value. Each has its own exercise and its own link, and none of them needs an account.

Use Table Reader, embedded on this page. It is the exercise the skill map attaches to compare table values, it runs in the browser with no account to make, these exercises are not scored and do not save learner records. The separate quiz sends answers for marking and shows a score, without saving an assessment record. It also has its own link, so you can send it to a child without sending them anywhere else first.
