Numeracy : Data hadling

Objective : To revise/review/introduce terminology around the creation of a bar graph and to create individual bar graphs from data collected previously

Reviewed previous work on data capture

Created a tally chart of the various shoe sizes of pupils in the class

Discussed methods for displaying this information visually.

Bar chart

• Covered vocabulary
• x axis
• y axis
• scale
• bar
• labels
• title

Modelled the creation of a bar graph as a shared activity on IWB - pupil led - I drew/wrote on the IWB at their instruction.
Once x & y axes were created and labelled pupils took over the transfer of data from the tally chart to the bar graph.

Once the process had been successfully modelled pupils created their own bar graphs on squared paper.
