Pictograms with a key of 2 for Year 2, over three pages. Pupils read a Favourite Fruit pictogram in which one apple stands for 2 children and half an apple for 1. Six questions ask for totals, a difference and which two fruits together match grapes. Page 2 asks pupils to explain what half an apple stands for and to show how 9 children would be drawn. Page 3 is the answer key. It follows England National Curriculum statistics for Year 2.
Statistics
“interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables”
Pupils read each row of the fruit pictogram using a key of 2, including half symbols.
Statistics
“ask and answer questions about totalling and comparing categorical data”
Question 4 compares bananas with oranges, question 5 totals all five fruits and question 6 asks which two fruits together match grapes.
Rows for bananas, apples, grapes, oranges and strawberries, with whole and half symbols. Pupils find the children who chose grapes, strawberries and apples, then the total number of children.
Pupils write what half an apple stands for and how they know. Then they say how many whole and half apples show 9 children who chose pears.
Answers to all eight questions with the adding and doubling shown, such as 8 + 7 + 10 + 4 + 3 for the total.
Count in twos
Count in twos along each row aloud before pupils answer. The half apple then becomes a count of one.
Half symbols
Use page 2 for a short talk. Pupils explain half an apple to a partner first, then write it down.
Challenge
Question 6 suits quicker pupils, who must try pairs of fruits until two add up to the grapes total.
