Watch: Watch whether the learner includes both Art and Chess in the numerator and all four bars in the denominator. An entry equivalent to 35/50 is decisive evidence that the graph counts and part-whole structure were read correctly.

Misread: A response such as 2/4 treats activity labels as the counted noun; 15/50 or 20/50 shows the learner did not combine both named bars, while 35/35 makes the selected part the whole.

Curriculum: This task connects scaled-bar-graph interpretation with a part-whole fraction formed from a complete category partition. It scores exact rational equivalence, so reduced and unreduced equivalent fractions are valid within the stated whole-number bounds.
