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}

Lesson plan

Topic

Statistics

Objectives

To introduce students to basic statistical concepts such as data collection, representation, and interpretation.
To help students understand how to use tally charts and simple bar graphs.
To develop students’ ability to ask questions and make predictions based on data.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Pre-prepared tally chart and bar graph templates
Counters or small objects for data collection (e.g., beans, buttons)
Worksheets for individual practice
Pencils and erasers

Grade/Age Group

Year 2

Subject

Mathematics

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Statistics	5 mins	Introduce the topic by asking students what they know about statistics. Discuss everyday examples.
2	Data Collection	10 mins	In small groups, students collect data on a simple question (e.g., favourite fruit). Use counters to represent their choices.
3	Tally Chart Creation	5 mins	Teach students how to create and fill in a tally chart based on their collected data.
4	Introduction to Bar Graphs	5 mins	Explain how to transform their tally chart data into a simple bar graph. Show an example on the whiteboard.
5	Bar Graph Creation	5 mins	Guide students as they create their own bar graphs using the data from their tally charts.
6	Class Discussion and Reflection	5 mins	Discuss what they learned from the data. Ask students to make predictions or observations based on their graphs. Homework assignment is explained here.

Homework

Each student to create a tally chart and a corresponding bar graph based on a topic of their choice at home (e.g., number of pets, types of vehicles seen in the street).
Review the homework when students return, ensuring feedback is provided without requiring presentations.

Class Size

20 students

Alignment with National Curriculum

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on data handling, interpretation, and representing data effectively. It encourages collaborative learning and practical application of mathematical concepts.
