This downloadable series of lessons comes with detailed lesson plans, engaging slideshow presentations and printable teaching resources.
#Lesson1GraphsandCharts
Recap the features of bar charts and line graphs, then challenge children to read and interpret information shown using them. Following this, children may practise drawing line graphs showing two or more sets of data, then ask and answer questions about the data shown.

#Lesson2PieCharts
The included slides with this lesson describe the features of pie charts, then ask children to read and interpret data presented in them. Following this, either challenge children to ask and answer their own questions about data in pie charts, or undertake group activities where children will draw their own simple pie charts.

#Lesson3InterpretingData
How does knowing the mean, mode and median of sets of data affect our understanding of it, or the way we interpret it? Children may consider these questions as they learn what these, and the term ‘range’ means as well as discovering how to find them in given sets of data. There’s plenty of opportunities during either of the included activities for children to practise these skills, too!

#Lesson4MainlyMean
In this lesson, children will look more closely at finding the mean in given sets of data, then either practise finding the mean for given sets of data, or collect their own sets of data from which the mean averages can be found.

#Lesson5ChanceandLikelihood
This lesson focuses on probability and — specifically — likelihood. Children will learn that sets of words can be used to describe and categorise degrees of likelihood, and that knowing the likelihood of outcomes allows us to predict events, such as the frequency with which a coin will land heads-up, or a rolled dice will land on a six! Following this, children may investigate the likelihood of events such as these for themselves during either of the two included activities.
