LESSON 1 T-Shirt Factory Problems

The third-grade students at Bessie Coleman School are making T-shirts with their first names on them. They plan to buy letters from a craft store and sew them onto the T-shirts. They collected data and made the graph below.
The students worked in groups. All the students with the same number of letters in their first names were in the same group. For example, all the students with four letters in their first names worked in one group. All the students with five letters in their first names worked in another. Each group needed to find out how many letters they would need to make their T-shirts. They also needed to find the total cost for their letters.
