Statistics teacher instructions

This booklet is an invaluable resource for teachers of Year 3 students, providing a diverse array of activities tailored to meet the specific objectives of the Statistics curriculum. Each activity is clearly labelled with the objectives it addresses, ensuring that teachers can easily align their lessons with the required learning outcomes. Additionally, every activity comes with a detailed list of necessary equipment and resources, simplifying the preparation process for educators.

The activities are versatile and can be adapted to various teaching contexts, whether at the start of a lesson to review and assess prior knowledge, as the main focus of a lesson to strengthen new concepts, or at the end of a lesson to evaluate student progress. The booklet uses a system of symbols to denote whether an activity is most appropriate for the whole class, small groups, or pairs, allowing teachers to tailor their approach to the dynamics of their classroom. To further support learning, the booklet suggests that children who require additional assistance might benefit from more frequent engagement with these activities. Beyond the booklet, the KS2Gems website offers a wealth of supplementary materials, including error-laden and interpretive bar charts, pictograms, and tables, as well as squared paper with blank axes, question stems, and a vocabulary list specific to Year 3 Statistics, all designed to enhance the school's existing educational provision.
