Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Review of pictograms, block graphs, bar graphs and line graphs (2)

In the Max Maths Year 6 Workbook, students are tasked with reviewing different types of graphs, including pictograms, block graphs, bar graphs, and line graphs. Practice 2 focuses on block graphs, where students must first identify which block graph correctly represents a given pictogram of Year 6 learners' favourite drinks. Each symbol in the pictogram represents two learners, and the choices of drinks include water, orange juice, apple juice, and cola. The block graphs are presented with varying scales and numbers of blocks to represent the number of learners who prefer each type of drink. Students must analyse these graphs and tick the one that accurately translates the pictogram data into a block graph format.

The workbook continues the practice with a block graph depicting Year 6 learners' favourite gaming machines, such as Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Wii U, and PC. Students are asked to answer questions based on the information presented in the graph. They need to determine the number of learners who used an Xbox One, identify the most popular gaming machine, calculate the combined total of learners who chose Nintendo Wii U and PC, and finally, ascertain the total number of learners surveyed. This exercise not only tests their ability to read and interpret data from block graphs but also reinforces basic arithmetic skills and comparative analysis.
