Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+)
Construct and interpret frequency tables, bar charts, pie charts, pictograms, and vertical line charts for both categorical and grouped numerical data, choosing appropriate representations for the data type
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+) means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Tally sheet or simple bar/dot sketch
- A short set of category counts
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Cats 4, dogs 2 — cats have more. The tally and comparison are the proof.
Optional challenge. For Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+), add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+), not mastery.

1 approach
Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+) means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Tally sheet or simple bar/dot sketch; A short set of category counts. 1. Say the goal of Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+) in plain words once. 2. Adult tallies one category and sketches a bar or dot plot. 3. Child tallies three small data sets and compares the tallest category. 4. Fresh check: one fresh tally comparison. Record and stop. Done: three correct tallies with a comparison sentence each. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Construct a grouped frequency table from raw continuous data, choosing appropriate class intervals
- Draw a pie chart by calculating the angle for each category
- Interpret a bar chart comparing two data sets and draw a conclusion about the difference
“When your child collects data for a project, can they choose the right type of chart to display it — and draw it accurately with correct labels and a suitable scale?”
