Thirteen children put their pictures, one at a time, into rows for how they get to school: walk, bus or car. Each picture sits in one box, so the bus row is the longest, and counting each row (4, 6 and 3) checks that the bus has the most, ending on "When pictures line up, the longest row has the most."

What the lesson says

These children are going to school. How does each one get there?

Some walk, some take the bus, some come by car.

Each child puts one picture in their row.

Now we have a picture graph!

Which group has the most children?

Each picture sits in one box, all lined up.

The bus row is the longest.

Let's count each row to check.

Walk: one, two, three, four.

Bus: one, two, three, four, five, six.

Car: one, two, three.

Six is the most, more than four and three.

So the bus has the most children.

When pictures line up, the longest row has the most.
