Resources needed:Differentiated SheetsTeaching Slides

Vocabulary:Bar charts, pictograms, tables, axes, discrete data, tally chart,, interpret

Children revisit how to use bar charts, pictograms and tables to interpret and present discrete data.They decide which scale will be the most appropriate when drawing their own bar charts.Children gather their own data using tally charts and then present the information in a bar chart. Questions about the data they have gathered should also be explored so the focus is on interpreting rather than drawing.

Key Questions:What are the different ways to present data? What do you notice about the different axes?What do you notice about the scale of the bar chart? What other way could you present the data shown in the bar chart? What else does the data tell us? What is the same and what is different about the way in which the data is presented? What scale will you use for your own bar chart? Why?

Children will fill in the table using the information from bar charts. They use simple bar charts with data easy to retrieve.

Children will fill in the table using the information from bar charts. They will have to identify the scale value between two labels on the axis.
