Reading and interpreting tables worksheet

KS2Gems has crafted an engaging worksheet for Year 4 students, aimed at enhancing their skills in reading and interpreting tables. The worksheet is divided into three hands-on activities that not only promote collaborative learning but also integrate cross-curricular links to subjects like Geography and Science.

Activity 1 requires students to work in pairs and utilise a set of line graphs from Line Graph Pack 3. Each pair is tasked with converting the visual data from their line graph into a structured table of information. Once completed, they exchange their work with another pair for peer review, allowing them to check and validate each other's interpretations. In Activity 2, students are presented with a table of data and asked to plot this information onto graph paper with varying square sizes. This exercise is designed to help them understand the effect of graph scaling on the representation of data. Finally, Activity 3 involves using a selection of timetables. Students must create their own questions with model answers based on the timetable information, then swap their work with peers to challenge each other's comprehension. Feedback sessions between pairs encourage discussion and consolidate their understanding. The objectives of these exercises are clear: to ensure students can competently complete, read, and interpret information in various table formats, including timetables, thus preparing them for practical applications in other subjects.
