Pictograms Statistics - PowerPoint

In a Year 2 Maths lesson, students are introduced to the concept of pictograms—a visual tool used to represent data through the use of images or symbols. Pictograms are a fun and engaging way for children to understand statistics and data representation. The lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation and worksheets from a teaching resource website. The materials guide students on how to draw and interpret pictograms, using relatable examples such as the number of different animals in a zoo. The exercises are designed to help students practice answering questions based on the information provided in the pictograms, such as counting the number of giraffes or lions in the zoo or comparing the quantities of different animals.

Further activities include a worksheet where students must create their own pictogram based on a survey of their classmates' favourite fruits. They are asked to represent the data visually and answer questions to determine the most and least popular fruits among their peers. Another example provided is a pictogram showing the hair colours of Rena's classmates, with a key indicating the value of each symbol. Students learn that sometimes a symbol can represent more than one item, such as a square representing two people, and they are tasked with answering questions based on this pictogram. The lesson aims to develop skills in data handling and interpretation, which are essential in the study of statistics.
