Suggested Work for 25th - 29th May
This week you will be learning about Data.
The children should be able to represent, read and interpret data on pictograms and block graphs.
You can download a pdf of the work below if you would like to print it out. Just click here.

Monday:
Mental Maths: What number comes next after each of the following numbers?
65 ? 29 ? 70 ? 99 ? 109 ? 44 ? 132 ?
1. Let us look back at a few things you learned last year. Do you remember what data means?
The word data means facts or a collection of information. Sometimes we want to show data on a chart or a table.
This makes it easier for us to read and interpret or understand.
We are going to look at pictograms and block graphs. In both pictograms and block graphs the data is shown in columns or
in rows.

We are going to look at pictograms and block graphs. In both pictograms and block graphs the data is shown in columns or
in rows.
In the chart above there are 5 columns. They are A, B, C, D and E. They go down.
In the chart below there are 5 rows. They go across.
In the chart below there are 5 rows. They go across.
Remember: columns go down and rows go across.
2. A pictogram is a chart or a graph which uses pictures to represent data.
Let’s have a look.
Here is a pictogram of the games the second class children like to play on the yard. I want you to look carefully and answer
some questions.

2. Do page 1 in your Problem Solving Maths Booklet. Write the sums in your Rough Work column.
3. Go to Planet Maths 2nd Class Resources. Click on Strand and then click on data. Do the Data Squares activity.
Tuesday:
Mental Maths: What number comes just before each of the following numbers?
77 ? 50 ? 110 ? 98 ? 33 ? 81 ? 112 ?
1. Yesterday you looked at data on a pictogram. You were able to read and interpret the data.
Today you are going to represent data on a pictogram.
In your 2D shapes box you have 5 circles, 7 squares, 2 ovals, 3 rectangles and 6 triangles.
Can you represent that data on a chart?

Draw the correct number of shapes in each column. This is how you represent data.
2. The teacher asked all the children in Second Class what was their favourite treat.
The picture graph below shows each child’s favourite treat.

Wednesday:
Mental Maths: Start counting at 63 and count up to 90.
Start counting at 38 and count up to 62. Start counting at 84 and count up to 116.
Start counting at 96 and count up to 127. Start counting at 101 and count up to 132.
1. As well as showing data on pictograms we can show data on block graphs.
In block graphs instead of drawing a picture of each item, you can colour 1 block or 1 bar to represent each item or each
preference. This is easier and quicker than putting in pictures or drawing pictures. Let’s have a look.
When I asked all the children in Second Class to name their favourite Premier League team, this is what they said.
5 children liked Manchester United best. 2 children preferred Spurs.
6 children preferred Liverpool. 4 children preferred Arsenal.
3 children liked Chelsea best.

Block graph A above shows the data about the children’s favourite football teams.
a. Can you tell from the block graph which is the favourite football team? Was it easy to see which one is the favourite team?
b. Which of the 5 teams is the least favourite? Did it take you long to figure that out?
c. How many children are in this Second Class?
d. How many more children prefer Liverpool to Spurs?
e. How many fewer children prefer Chelsea to Liverpool?
f. Do you have a favourite team? If so, which is your favourite?
Block graph A is a vertical graph. It shows the data in columns.
We can also show the data on a horizontal graph. It shows the data in rows.
Block graph B below is a horizontal graph. It shows the data in rows.

We can also show the data on a horizontal graph. It shows the data in rows.
Block graph B below is a horizontal graph. It shows the data in rows.
Both block graph A and block graph B represent the exact same data. Can you see that they both show the same information?
Sometimes we show the data in columns and sometimes we show the data in rows.
2. Do page 3 in your Problem Solving Maths Booklet. Write the sums in your Rough Work column.
3. Go to Planet Maths 2nd Class Resources. Click on Strand and then click on data. Do the Alien Sports Day activity.

2. Could you fill in this graph with your family?
Ask everyone in your house what was their favourite subject in school.
If there aren’t enough people in your house, you could ask your granny, grandad, cousins, aunties and uncles too when you talk to them on the phone.
Colour one block for everyone’s favourite subject.
3. Do page 5 in your Problem Solving Maths Booklet. Write the sums in your Rough Work column.
4. Go to Planet Maths 2nd Class Resources. Click on Strand and then click on data. Do Desmond’s Necklace activity.
Your teacher has more Mental Maths, Word Problems and lots of other activities on your class page, so if you want to do more, you can try th em too. Do whatever you can.
