Mathematics · Data & Statistics · representational
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set; solve one- and two-step comparison, sum, and difference problems using bar charts, pictograms, and tables
What mastery looks like
- Draw a bar graph where each square represents 5 pets
- From a scaled pictogram, answer: how many more children chose football than tennis?
- Solve a two-step problem: how many votes in total for the top two choices?
Check your understanding
If Representing numbers with objects (age 8+) looked at a bar chart showing how many books different children read last month, could they work out the total, find the difference between the most and least, and draw their own chart with a scale like "each square = 2 books"?
