Year 6 Spring Block 6: Statistics

Year 6 statistics – Spring Block 6

Year 6 Maths Spring Block 6 focuses on statistics, including line graphs, dual bar charts, pie charts and the mean. Aligned with the Year 6 National Curriculum and White Rose Maths progression, pupils interpret, construct and analyse different representations of data and use them to solve problems.

Across the block, pupils read and draw line graphs and dual bar charts, interpret and construct pie charts and use percentages to reason about pie chart data. They also calculate and interpret the mean as an average.
