Children will count and compare objects using tally charts.
Learners can record data in a tally chart.
Children can represent a tally count as a total.
Children will be able to compare totals in a tally chart.
Learners will be able to recognise that objects can be represented as pictures.
Children will be able to enter data onto a computer and use a computer to view data in a different format.
Learners will use pictograms to answer simple questions about objects.
Children will use a tally chart to create a pictogram.
Learners will create a pictogram to arrange objects by an attribute.
Answer YES\NO, ‘more than’/’less than’ and ’most/least’ questions about an attribute.
Children will be able to choose a suitable attribute to compare people and collect the data I need.

Key vocabulary
More than, less than, most, least, organise, data, object, tally chart, votes, total, Pictogram, enter, data, tally chart, compare, objects, count, more common, least common

Learners will begin to understand what the term data means and how data can be collected in the form of a tally chart. They will learn the term ‘attribute’ and use this to help them organise data. Children will then progress onto presenting data in the form of pictograms and finally block diagrams. Learners will use the data presented to answer questions.

Children will have a mix of paper and digital worksheets and will need to access work via Google Classroom. There are a number of drag "n" drop puzzles for children to solve and learners will access online software that will allow them to create a number of different pictogram graphs. Learners finally create their own graphs.

🧮 Counting & Comparing 🔢

During this lesson learners will begin to understand the importance of organising data effectively for counting and comparing. They will create their own tally charts to organise data, and represent the tally count as a total. Finally, they will answer questions comparing totals in tally charts using vocabulary such as ‘more than’ and ‘less than.

Children will transfers data collected on tally charts into a digital worksheet and sort and count via drag "n" drop activites.

📋 Enter the data 📋

During this lesson learners will become familiar with the term ‘pictogram’. Children recognise that objects can be represented as pictures and entered data via a computer. Learners could view data in a different format and start to answer simple questions about objects.

Learners will begin to understand the advantages of using computers and we took a number of surveys with children who turned that data into a pictogram.

🍎 Creating pictograms 🚘

We started this lesson with a recap of the importance of effective data collection. We took a quick poll of children's favourite fruit. They will record their data collection using a tally chart and use this to make a pictogram on a computer.

Learners will explain what their finished pictogram shows by writing a range of statements to describe this.

Children opened ‘J2Data: Pictogram’ software and created a number of different charts based on data provided.
