We have been using different materials to represent data from the book ‘If the World were a Village’.  We worked in pairs and selected the information we wanted to use.  Our options were, Countries or Continents the Villagers live in, Languages they speak, Religions followed and the availability of food.  We then transferred the data to pie charts and bar graphs.  The pictures below show our physical representations.  They made the numbers easy to compare at a glance.
