Sticky Data
This NRICH investigation asks children to work together, in a hands-on way, to display data about their own class. The use of sticky notes, which are all the same size, makes it a great introduction to block graphs.
Let's Investigate Handling Data
Book 1 is aimed at Key Stage One and contains some nice activities which are set in situations that children will be familiar with. In the first activities, children cut and sort pictures into groups. The activities on page 20 of the pdf practise making a simple tally chart and frequency table. In the presenting data section on page 33, they create pictograms and block graphs.
