Pictograms with deliberate errors

A unique educational resource has been crafted for Year 3 students, focusing on the intriguing world of statistics through the lens of pictograms. This collection comprises eight distinct pictograms, each intentionally embedded with errors to challenge and engage young learners in critical analysis. The pictograms cover a variety of themes, from everyday items to popular choices among children, such as favourite ice cream flavours and pets. Each pictogram is associated with a key that provides a scale for interpretation, like a symbol representing a pair of socks or equating to one and a half of an item.

Further exploring the interests of Year 3 pupils, the resource delves into preferred fruits, showcasing a range of options including apples, oranges, cherries, grapes, melons, and pears. The pictograms extend to transport preferences, comparing modes like motorbikes, tractors, buses, and cars, and even the choice of walking. Additionally, the pack taps into the digital realm, presenting favourite TV programmes and computer games among the children, with popular titles such as Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, Super Mario, Animal Crossing, Lego Worlds, and Mario Kart. Each game's popularity is quantified by a symbol equivalent to two children, prompting students to decode the pictograms and identify the deliberate mistakes within.
