Learning Focus- Interpreting Charts

Remember:

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.
Remember: Discrete data is counted (Number of children in a class) Continuous data is measured (Height of children).

1. Click on the video below. There is not a WRM tutorial available for Interpreting charts. Please take a look at this video which talks about representing data using bar charts, pictograms and tables.

Link: Click on the video above to take you to the tutorial.

2. Work through the 'Interpret charts' PowerPoint attached below. Children can recap using bar charts, pictograms and tables by working through the examples. Have your workbook ready to work through the examples. You may also have a look at the Bar Chart and Line Graph guidance below to understand how to read and construct these graphs.

3. Complete the 'Interpret charts' worksheet which can be found in your home learning pack. Answers will be provided shortly via Parent Hub App.

4. Challenge: As a bonus challenge, children can complete the WRM extension. The challenge is not in your home learning pack and should be completed in your workbook.
