| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Histogram
Year 6
Mathematics
20 Students
30 Minutes
This lesson aligns with the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum, focusing on data representation and interpretation.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Histograms | 5 mins | Introduce the concept of histograms. Explain the differences between histograms and other graphs such as bar charts. Provide examples. |
| 2 | Discussing Data Sets | 5 mins | Present a data set that students will use to create their histogram. Discuss the importance of organizing data into intervals (bins). |
| 3 | Creating the Histogram | 10 mins | Instruct students to draw axes on their graph paper and label them. Guide them to create their histogram using the provided data set. |
| 4 | Analyzing Histograms | 5 mins | Facilitate a discussion on how to interpret the histograms. Ask questions about the data represented, such as the highest frequency, range, etc. |
| 5 | Wrap-Up and Homework | 5 mins | Summarize key points from the lesson. Assign homework: students will collect their own data and create a histogram at home to bring back for checking in the next class. |
Students will gather a small set of data from their home or community and create a histogram based on their findings. This homework will be checked in the following class without requiring students to present their work. Students will submit their histograms and a short written interpretation of the data collected.
