Year 4 is an important year for children to make progress with collecting, sorting and interpreting data and now is a good time to have a little break from Christmas activities and try a little Handling Data. By the end of Year 4 children should be able to construct pictograms where the symbol used represents one or more than one item (e.g. one stick person represents 10 people). They should be able to interpret and answer simple questions about pictograms. They should be able to draw and interpret simple bar charts, including those involving time and be able to predict which items are most likely to occur based on information in a bar chart. These pages contain two sets of questions based on a pictogram of birds and of cars. Both have pictures which represent 5 objects and ask children to work out what the pictogram is showing as well as encouraging them to make their own pictograms. Go to Year 4 Pictograms
