Grain market

The price is written above each bar. Look for the smallest one first, then the biggest.
The year is the number below the bar. Write down both years.

For parents

What does this exercise practice?

The grain market trains reading a bar chart and finding the biggest and smallest value.

Common pitfalls

Price and year are easily mixed up. The price is above the bar, the year below it.
