Lesson Objectives Overview of Learning – The what and the how Resources

and date

Lesson 1 L.O. To interpret Children revisit how to use bar charts, pictograms and tables to interpret and -White Rose Resources
charts present discrete data. They decide which scale will be the most appropriate when – Classroom Secrets
13.6.21 drawing their own bar charts. Children gather their own data using tally charts and Extension
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.

Key Questions to ask

What are the different ways to present data?

What do you notice about the different axes?
What do you notice about the scale of the bar chart?
What other way could you present the data shown in the bar chart?
What else does the data tell us?
What is the same and what is different about the way in which the data is
presented?
What scale will you use for your own bar chart? Why?

Enable: To use concrete and pictorial representations to support conversion

(charts).
Extend: Reasoning and Problem-Solving questions (explain, word problems, odd
one out)

to data they have collected themselves.
-Classroom Secrets
Key Questions to ask: Extension

What does a full circle represent in the pictogram?

What does a half/quarter/three quarters of the circle represent?

What other questions could we ask about the pictogram?

What other questions could we ask about the table?

What data could we collect as a class?

What questions could we ask about the data?

Extend: To use Reasoning and Problem-Solving Questions (matching, word problems,

explain)

Lesson 4 L.O. Introducing Line Children are introduced to line graphs in the context of time. They use their knowledge of -White Rose Resources
Graphs scales to read a time graph accurately and create their own graphs to represent
16.6.21 continuous data. It is important that children understand that continuous data can be -Classroom Secrets
measured (for example time, temperature and height) but as values are changing all the

time, the values we read off between actual measurements are only estimates. Extension
Key Questions to ask:

How is the line graph different to a bar chart?

Which is the x and y axis?

What do they represent?

How would you estimate the temperature at 9:30 a.m.?

How would you estimate the time it was when the temperature was 7 degrees?

Enable: Use examples of graphs to support children

Extend: To use Reasoning and Problem-Solving questions (Odd one out, explain, correct
statements)

Lesson 5 L.O. To develop Building from the last step, children continue to solve comparison, sum and difference -White Rose Resources
understanding of problems using continuous data with a range of scales. They use addition and subtraction
17.6.21 Line Graphs to answer questions accurately and ask their own questions about the data in line graphs. -Classroom Secrets
Although examples of data are given, children need to have the opportunity to ask and Extension
answer questions relating to data they have collected themselves.

Key Questions to ask:

Is this discrete or continuous data? How do you know? What do you notice about the
scale of the graph? How could you make sure you read the graph accurately? What other
questions could you ask about the graph? How many different ways can you fill in the

Enable: Use examples of line graphs to support children.

Extend: Complete Reasoning and Problem-Solving Questions (ordering,

identifying/finding, sorting)
