Year 2 Spring Block 2: Statistics

Year 2 statistics – Spring Block 2

Year 2 Maths Spring Block 2 focuses on statistics, helping pupils collect, represent and interpret data using tally charts, pictograms and block diagrams. Aligned with the Year 2 National Curriculum and White Rose Maths progression, pupils learn how to organise data and answer questions about what it shows.

Across the block, pupils create and interpret tally charts and pictograms before moving on to pictograms in 2s, 5s and 10s and block diagrams. They use the data to compare categories, find totals and explain their findings using mathematical vocabulary.

Year 2 statistics resources

Our Year 2 statistics resources help pupils collect, organise, represent and interpret data using tally charts, pictograms and block diagrams. Pupils learn how different representations can be used to show information clearly and answer questions about totals, quantities and comparisons.

Year 2 statistics worksheets and pictogram activities

The block includes Year 2 statistics worksheets, teaching slides and data handling activities covering tally charts, pictograms and block diagrams. Pupils draw and interpret pictograms using scales of 1, 2, 5 and 10, compare categories and use information from charts and diagrams to answer questions.

Teaching pictograms, tally charts and block diagrams in Year 2

In Year 2, pupils learn to interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and tables. They ask and answer questions by counting, totalling and comparing categorical data, developing the early statistics skills needed to understand and communicate information presented in different forms.
