This resource is available for less Skittles Data Handling Investigation: Count, Sort, and Create a Bar Chart or for free downloads (including this resource) sign up at Alphabet Learning
What’s included?
This download includes seven A4, portrait orientation pdf sheets.
Both Colour and Black & White versions of the 3 main activity sheets (6 pages).
1 Sheet of Printable Paper Skittles (for cutting and sorting/counting).
What’s it for?
This three-step investigation uses Skittles to teach learners to become data experts by:
Sorting and Counting the coloured Skittles (data collection).
Organising and Recording the data onto a clear, simple bar chart.
Analysing the results by answering questions about the data.
Once this activity is complete your learners may be allowed to eat their Skittles as a reward, alternatively paper Skittles are provided.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource Details
The activity is structured for individual learners, using one ‘portion’ of Skittles (real or paper).
Page 1 (Data Collection): Learners sort Skittles into 5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, purple) and record the totals for each group.
Page 2 (Data Organising): The recorded totals are then transferred onto a simple, clear bar chart.
Capacity Note: The bar chart can accommodate up to 16 Skittles of any single colour group.
Page 3 (Data Analysis): Learners answer questions based on the bar chart, covering concepts like most/least, difference, odd/even, and ‘the same’.
All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings.

This is a meaningful, hands-on activity for data handling. It helps children count and record different traffic types (up to seven), and teaches them to organise this data into a block diagram. An empty space is included allowing you to customise the traffic items.
Resource Details
There are x2 stages to this activity, going out (always with an adult!) to count vehicles for an agreed amount of time and transferring the information collected onto a block diagram.
Page 1
Learners will practice counting different types of vehicles and pedestrians they observe from a safe distance (always with adult supervision!) The record sheet includes:
cars
vans
buses
trucks
bicycles
motorbikes
pedestrians
plus an extra space to add another type of traffic/vehicle
Page 2
Use the information from your “traffic survey” to complete this simple, clear block diagram. Simply colour the correct number of boxes for each type of vehicle. For any group with more than x12 vehicles, colour up to the “12+” line to show a large number.
