LIST AND TABLE
2. A list is a record of important items. A shopping list can remind us about what to buy Geeta's mother gave her a list of stationery to buy.
Check if she has bought everything as per the list.
Is there an item she has forgotten to buy?
We can see pencils, crayons, paint brushes, sharpeners and erasers.
Is there an item that was not on the shopping list?
Let us tally the items with the list. Brushes-check. Pencils-check. Crayons- check. Erasers-check. Sharpener-uh Oh! The sharpener was not on the shopping list.
Is there an item she has bought more or less of?
Let us tally the items in the shopping bag with the list. Brushes-2-correct.
Pencils-3-correct. Crayons-3-correct. Erasers-1-Oh no! Geeta bought one sharpener and two erasers by mistake when the shopping list had no mention of a sharpener and just one eraser.
It is easier to tally the items by making a table as shown below.
