What this pack does

What pupils learn

A pictogram uses pictures to show frequencies, and the key tells you what each picture is worth. This pack teaches you to read, draw and check pictograms, and to move between pictograms, bar charts and tables.

The mini-lessons

  1. What is a pictogram actually showing?
  2. When one symbol represents one item
  3. The key can scale the pictogram
  4. Partial symbols: half a picture is not half a guess
  5. Read, compare and make conclusions
  6. Completing a pictogram from a frequency table
  7. Choosing a sensible key and spotting pictogram problems
  8. Simple-chart interpretation — recognise the display, then read its rule

Inside every pack

What each part of the page is for

  1. Confidence check

    Pupils tick how a topic feels before they start, and again at the end. There are no marks, so it's an honest picture of where they are.

  2. Short mini-lessons

    Each topic is split into small steps. Every mini-lesson opens with one big idea and a short, plain-English explanation.

  3. Visuals for every idea

    Diagrams such as a formula 'rule machine' or a place-value picture show the maths, so pupils can see it as well as read it.

  4. Worked examples

    Every method is modelled step by step before pupils try it, with each stage labelled so they can follow it on their own.

  5. Scaffolded practice

    Questions start with prompts (what do you need to find, follow the example, check it makes sense) and gradually ask for more independence.

  6. Spot the trap

    Common mistakes are named before pupils make them, and Mistake Detective questions ask them to find and fix errors.

  7. Pause and think

    Short 'explain it in your own words' prompts check that pupils understand why the maths works, not just how.

  8. Teacher Pack with answers

    Every pack comes with a Teacher Pack: all the answers, plus reteach cards saying what to watch for, what to say, and what to try if a pupil is still stuck.

Data Language Foundations

Statistics starts with information. Before charts or averages, you need to know what the information is saying. This pack teaches the small set of words that statistics keeps using.

Statistics 2 · Year 7

Collecting Data and Questionnaires

Before you can draw a chart or find an average, someone has to collect the data. This pack is about doing that well: choosing a sensible method, writing fair questions, choosing who to ask, and spotting bias.
