In Year 5, we have been using PurpleMash to support our learning about Data Handling. As an introduction to Pie Charts, we have taken statistics from the FIFA website and created Pie Charts to represent them. The charts below contain statistics about Germany and Argentina from the 5 games they have played.

Year 5 completed their end of year tests last week. One area that was shown to be an area for development was answering more complex questions about data represented in tables, graphs and charts. As the pupils are experts on producing these graphs and charts, they have come up with their own questions about their graphs and charts. The pupils will answer these questions using comments.
