We are learning to sort and display information in different ways

Success Criteria:

• I can help to create a tally chart, block chart and pictogram to show information we have gathered
• I can gather and organise information to create my own pictogram
• I understand that the same information can be presented in different ways

This week, Primary 3 have been learning how to sort and display different types of data linked to their IDL context, Dinosaurs.

We learned what tally marks, pictograms, block charts and frequency tables were and looked at how they could be used to show information about our favourite dinosaurs. We created a class tally chart which we then changed into a pictogram and asked each other questions about the ‘most popular,’ ‘least popular’ and ‘difference between’ the information displayed. We also created our own pictograms and tally charts.

Primary 3 also took part in Sumdog’s Maths Week Scotland contest, developing our mental maths skills while having fun playing all of the different games.
