Grade 2 Math Practice Test: Bar Graphs and Line Plots

The top of Cy's bar lines up with 11 on the scale. It is one line above 10 and one line below 12.

Ben's bar is the shortest; it stops at 5. Cy's bar is the tallest, so Cy read the most.

Cy read 11 and Ben read 5, so 11 − 5 = 6. The answer 16 adds the two numbers instead of comparing them.

Ana read 8 and Dee read 7, so 8 + 7 = 15. The answer 1 is the difference, not the total.

Dee read 7, and 7 + 1 = 8, which is Ana's bar. Ben read fewer books than Dee, not more.

Count every X: 1 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11 pencils. The answer 5 counts the lengths on the line, not the pencils.

The tallest stack of X marks, 4 of them, is above 5 inches. The 4-inch stack has only 3 marks.

There are 2 pencils at 6 inches and 1 at 7 inches: 2 + 1 = 3. The answer 2 forgets the 7-inch pencil.

The longest pencil is 7 inches and the shortest is 3 inches: 7 − 3 = 4 inches. The answer 10 adds them.

4 fewer than 9 is 9 − 4 = 5, so the tennis bar stops at 5. The word "fewer" tells you to subtract, not add to 13.
