Creating Frequency tables/ Bar Charts/ Compound Bar Charts and Pictograms.

The lesson has a money question on the board to solve as the students walk in.
The grades of what they will be completing is on the next slide.
A starter question can be projected on the board and the students have to identify a bar chart, a histogram and a frequency polygon by moving the labels to the correct diagram and justify why they have chosen that one.
Next you look at a Bar chart and discuss what needs to be labelled on there.
There are 3 Bar charts to project and you can ask the students various questions to se if they can read off the data, there is also a compound bar chart where the students can come up and put the bars in the correct place.
On the next slide is a power point with animated cars, from this the students complete a frequency table, then a bar chart and a pictogram. They tend to enjoy this as they collect the data and can colour in the cars.
Finally there are 3 bar charts that can be run out and you can create the data to go in there.
