Maths at a garage sale (not literally)

Last week I was learning about how important it is to read instructions properly and to look at the key in graphs.


Here are a few problems I worked on. It is important that I look at the key because it helps you with the question you're trying to figure out.  So the key in this grid is 6. 1 coin equals 6 dollars. So it’s obviously 6 x tables.  So it’s important to look at the key. That’s the first thing you do. Then you look at the question and figure it out.
