EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students use a picture to collect data on the number of toys in a shop, recording their findings in a tally chart before presenting the data in a bar graph. Designed for students in years 2 and 3.

Learning Objectives:

  • Collect and organise data using a tally chart.
  • Present data visually in a bar graph.
  • Interpret and analyse data representations.

How the Activity Works:

Students examine the provided picture of a toy shop and count the different types of toys. They record their findings in a tally chart, ensuring accurate data collection. Using the recorded data, students create a bar graph to display their results clearly. This activity reinforces key data-handling skills and encourages students to interpret information effectively. An answer sheet is included for reference.
