The pattern behind it: Read and complete data displays
Read the title and labels, locate the relevant values, then compare or complete only what the question asks.
In this one. A picture-graph key tells how many items each symbol represents.
How to spot it
The question shows a picture graph with rows of circles or icons. A key nearby says how many items one symbol stands for.
Common mistake
Children count the symbols correctly but forget to check the key, so they treat every symbol as one item even when it stands for two or more.
