A 6-slide visual lesson introducing the three Year 2 chart types. Each slide pairs the idea with a worked example. Slide 5 highlights the pictogram “key trick” — the most common KS1 statistics mistake.
A ten-question quiz that drills the core “read the chart and answer” skill. Mixes all three Y2 chart types, with several pictogram questions that test whether the child remembers the key.
Vocabulary is half the battle in Y2 statistics. These 10 cards introduce the words children need to understand the questions on a SATs paper or in a class quiz.
Data Detective: 5-Page Activity Book is a five-case Year 2 maths activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for statistics. Children interpret and construct tally charts, pictograms (using a simple key) and block diagrams, then ask and answer questions about totalling and comparing categorical data — such as how many more and how many altogether. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
A short guide for parents and carers showing how natural everyday moments are for early data work. Counting cars at the bus stop, sorting the laundry, tracking the weather — the maths is hiding in plain sight.
The warm-up shape assessment for KS1. Recognising and naming common 2-D shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and 3-D shapes (cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid).
The full KS1 shapes test. Y2 properties: sides and vertices for 2-D shapes; faces, edges and vertices for 3-D shapes; vertical line symmetry.
The stretch test for confident Year 2 pupils. Multi-property reasoning, symmetry, identifying shapes from descriptions, intro to nets.
A Year 1 maths worksheet covering 2D shape recognition (circle, square, triangle, rectangle), 3D shape recognition (cube, sphere, cylinder), and a real-world shape hunt around the house.
Answers, two Year 1 shape misconceptions, two dinner-table prompts.
