The seventh pack in the Ages 7 to 9 Maths collection, taking children through the whole data journey: forming an investigable question, choosing who to ask, running surveys and tallies, building tables, bar charts and pictograms, then interpreting results honestly and spotting the claims a graph cannot support.

What's included

  • Turning vague topics into investigable questions
  • Choosing the right people to ask, sampling and fairness
  • Designing a clear survey with sensible answer options
  • Tallying in fives and checking the data for mistakes
  • Building bar charts and reading them accurately
  • Pictograms, keys and half symbols
  • Organising findings into tables and comparing categories
  • Avoiding overclaims, what the data does not tell us
  • Spotting leading questions and unfair surveys
  • Axis scale traps and misleading graphs
  • Personal tracking projects over a week
  • Presenting findings and explaining what they mean

Who it's for

Parents and carers of children aged 7 to 9 who are ready to collect, organise and question real data rather than just read charts.
