  • Yr 4: Present discrete and continuous data using appropriate graphical methods, including bar charts and time graphs.
  • Yr 5: Solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph.
  • Yr 6: Interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems; calculate and interpret the mean as an average.

Lesson Planning
