9.3  Problem Solving
 
Example of Question
 

The pictograph shows the number of basketball club members for year 1 by class.

Which class has the least number of members?

We can see that the image of a basketball represents a person.

So, we need to count the number of basketball images in each class to get the lowest number among them.

The class that has the fewest members of the basketball association is 1 Bestari which is 2 people.
