Children can really get to grips with Handling Data in year 3, including using tally charts, pictograms and bar charts to represent results. Sorting data also becomes more complex with the use of Venn and Carroll diagrams.
We continue with organising and sorting data, including revising simple Venn diagrams.
Collect data using a tally chart and present it in a frequency table. Carry out a survey and present the results.
Introducing bar charts as a way of displaying information, with questions about the data shown.
More on tally charts and presenting the information as a graph.
Pictograms are a common way of organising and displaying data. Usually the images represent more than one item, making them harder to interpret.
Much more on using Venn diagrams to sort into 3 groups and Carroll diagrams (named after Lewis Carroll) to sort into four groups.
More practice at sorting numbers using Venn diagrams. A good knowledge of tables needed.
Interpreting a graph and suggestions on collecting data and producing a similar graph on favourite zoo animals.
Interpreting graphs on type of car and birds.
