Favourite Colours Chart
Part of: Charts and puzzles
A chart counts votes with pictures: red 8, green 5, blue 10, yellow 4. Blue leads, yellow trails, and 27 children voted in all.
Why it matters. Charts turn crowds into clear answers. Most, least and total come straight from the counts.
Try it in two minutes
- Vote for colours in the family and tally the counts.
- Ask: which colour leads and which trails?
- Add all votes for the total.
Try at home. Vote for favourite fruits at home and find the winner.
Fruits and Travel Modes
Part of: Charts and puzzles
Tables compare anything: apple 9 beats banana 6, orange 7 and kiwi 3 at a fruit party. Buses carry 15 children, more than walkers, autos, bikes and cycles.
Why it matters. Same chart skills work on every survey. Children read rows, compare and total with ease.

- Tally fruit picks in the family.
- Ask: most and least liked fruit?

Games and Families
Part of: Charts and puzzles
Votes crown cricket with 13 over football 11, kabaddi 9, gilli-danda 6 and pithu 5. Family tables show most homes hold 3 people, and 24 families were asked.
Why it matters. Bigger tables need careful totals. Children learn to add rows and dodge tricky more-than traps.
Try it in two minutes
- Tally game picks among friends.
- Ask: most and least liked game?
- Count family sizes in three homes.
Try at home. Ask three neighbours their family size and find the most common one.
Number Puzzles
Part of: Charts and puzzles
Puzzles hide maths in play: a tyre riddle asks for a circle, doubling to 18 hides 9, and a 6-metre cloth needs 5 cuts for 1-metre pieces.
Why it matters. Puzzles stretch flexible thinking. Tricks like double-halve always landing on 4 show hidden rules.
Try it in two minutes
- Play the double-halve trick starting from 10.
- Ask: which balls total 30, and can three do it?
- Cut a paper strip into equal bits and count cuts.
Try at home. Play the double-add-halve trick with any starting number.
