This is a one hour exam preparation lesson to show A Level Biology students how to answer exam questions which require them to interpret data.
It begins by looking at how to describe data that’s presented in a table or a graph, and then how to explain data or draw conclusions from the data. There are lots of example exam questions which require students to practice each type of skill so that patterns in the structure to their answers and the mark scheme can be highlighted.
Examiner’s reports for all questions are also included on the PowerPoint and in the student resource pack so that they can read them and reflect on their own answers as they work.
Resources included: Powerpoint with all exam questions, mark schemes and examiner’s plus student resource which includes the same.
Includes:
- Finding and sorting Information
- Displaying Information (line graphs, tally charts, bar charts/graphs, Carroll diagrams and Venn diagrams)
- Code breakers
- Interpreting data
Can be adapted for upper KS1 and lower KS2

Our Year 2 Statistics Digital Resource provides a dynamic and engaging learning experience that captures students’ attention from start to finish. The carefully crafted content is aligned with the curriculum standards, ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge needed in interpreting and representing data using tables.
Through a series of interactive lessons and activities, your year 2 students will learn how to create, interpret, and use tables effectively. They will discover the significance of tables as a quick and efficient way to record and count data. With the guidance of our intuitive interface, students can practice creating tables in a virtual environment, enabling them to sharpen their skills at their own pace.
To enhance the learning experience, our Year 2 Statistics Digital Resource incorporates interactive self-marking activities using vibrant graphics. Students can put their knowledge to the test with interactive challenges that reinforce their understanding of tables. Additionally, our resource offers progress tracking features, allowing students and educators to monitor performance and identify areas for improvement.
Whether used in the classroom or at home, our Year 2 Statistics Digital Resource provides an immersive learning environment that supports students’ growth in statistics.

Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables
Solve one-step and two-step questions (for example ‘How many more’ and ‘How many fewer?’) using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables
This PowerPoint follows the Oxford textbook.
The following content is covered throughout the PowerPoint. I have also added a few extra concepts which can be used in students Internal Assessments (IA). For example, I spend a little time looking at the skewness formula, different ways of calculating outliers, 1.5 x IQR or 2 X SD, skewness in box plots, etc.
Univariate data
* qualitative vs quantitative
* continuous vs discrete
* which representations are used for specific types of data
* primary and secondary data
* choosing a good sample
* sampling bias
* reliability vs validity
* skewness
Questionnaires
* biased questions
Measures of central tendency
* mean, meadian, mode
* outliers
* un-grouped and grouped
* how to use the GDC
* combined mean
Measures of dispersion
* range, quartiles, IQR, standard deviation
* normal distribution curve
* skewness
* different formulas for sample and population for SD
* how to use the GDC
* effects on mean and SD
Sampling techniques
Presentation of data
Bivariate data
* scatter graphs
* correlation
* introduction into the line of best fit (leading into chapter 6)
Throughout the PowerPoint there are worked examples and student exercises. There are also multiple links to various classroom and interactive activities using GeoGebra and Desmos Classrooms. As well, I have included links to certain Youtube videos to help with using the GDC.
I made this up after working on similar resources to find information from data. There is a much simpler version at the bottom for children with AEN. Most children were able to work on one step problems when interpreting data. Once this is completed I will give them one and two step problems. More able will be able to write their own.
A really fun and unusual lesson using a piece of sheet music to collect data using a tally chart, interpret from a tally chart, present the data in a bar chart and pie chart and further interpret the data using a real-life question. Very enjoyable and no knowledge or prior understanding of sheet music needed. Also Christmas themed (the song used is Jingle Bells) so great for engaging students at that time of year.
I have fully completed and gone over the Digital Information Technology COMPONENT 2: Collecting, Presenting and Interpreting Data Pearson Set Assignment January 2025.
This is a great guide to help you complete the new released January 2025 paper.
Great tool to assist the marking process so you can check and cross reference against the provided answers.
Included is a fully completed Excel Spreadsheet with all completed tasks for 2A 2B and 2C as well as a complete ‘how to guide’ on PowerPoint.
Fully completed examplar answers for 3 errors patterns and trends, as well as a guide on responding well to task 1, task 1 is generic and can be used on any PSA, not just the JAN2025.
Added a tracker for the entire DIT course that covers COMP1, COMP2 and COMP3 and can be used for your entire class.
11/11/2024 - Marking grids (updated) for answers 2A, 2B and 2C
A completed marking grid to show you the best practice.
02/12/24 - Added a marking grid and fully marked student work for COMP2 Jan 2025 with screenshots/comments.
11/12/24 - Added a comment bank and made some minor changes to the marking grid template/marked work.
Year 3 Statistics Interpret & Present Bar Chart Data
This Year 3 Maths Statistics Read and Interpret Data Using Bar Charts Question Set covers the national curriculum objective to read and interpret data using bar charts.
Registering for an LbQ account will give you access to the questions included in this resource and many 1,000s more. These 5 questions are a small selection from a much bigger Question Set of the same topic; they can be used as a teaching starter, plenary or activity for pupils. It is designed to provide teachers a taste of what our content is all about.
LbQ Maths Question Sets are based around the principles of mastery and have been developed by teachers and subject matter experts. Each Question Set targets a curriculum objective, though some objectives need more than one set, and has been guided by the White Rose Maths curriculum breakdown.
This resource is an introduction to statistics.
It contains nine subjective questions on presentation of data in a frequency table, it essentially deals with interpretation of data presented in a frequency table.
It is a good resource to use as an exit card or even as an review of previous knowledge.
I hope you find it useful.
THANK YOU

This is a PowerPoint presentation which focuses on reading and interpreting line graphs. Several examples of questions are given. Pupils are shown through animations how to read information from a line graph. They are also shown how to interpret reading on a scale and to work out the range between two values. This presentation has been designed in particular for Year 6 pupils and would be ideal for SATs revision. However, it would be appropriate for pupils in upper KS2 or lower KS3.

WRM Small Step: pictograms
Curriculum links:
-Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables.
-Solve one-step and two-step questions [for example, ‘How many more?’ and ‘How many fewer?’ using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables.
Enjoy!
Your feedback is always welcome x
A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to intepret information presented as pictograms.
Included as part of the worksheet are 4 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different values for different images and whether pupils are able to intepret these accurately in different questions.
Answers are also included for all questions.
This worksheet can easily be used as a worksheet when teaching the objective or used for recap/ revision or even to be sent home as homework.
I made this worksheet for Year three children. They have to label the horizontal bar chart, complete the tally chart and then answer some True or False questions and explain how they know, to prove it. The questions are differentiated. LO and SC on the worksheet to help with marking.
Will save lots of time.
