Year 4 Statistics Lesson - Pictograph

Lesson Presentation+ Anchor Chart + Differentiated Tasks + Intervention

Teach with clarity! This carefully constructed lesson supports students to confidently transition from reading frequency tables to creating scaled pictographs with many-to-one keys. Through a clear & thoughtful lesson design, differentiated tasks and support tools, students explore how the many-to-one idea can be represented symbolically and how it impacts data displays to strengthen their understanding of data representation.
