NO PENS DAY: Data & Statistics Lesson (UKS2)

No Pens Day lessons are a fantastic way to spice things up a little in the classroom for every learner - with minimum additional resources needed. These lessons are also a lovely and inclusive way to do something a little differently in order to appeal to neurodivergent learners who struggle with the formality of normal day-to-day schooling.

This lesson focuses on building bar charts and line graphs. The children will collect, interpret and analyse data and learn about continuous data and how it is best represented in line graph form. They will work in groups and use resources to build line graphs - all without lifting a pen!
