15. Fluency Activity 1 Create your own bar chart using a packet of Smarties (or something similar with different colours or flavours). This is a really nice activity to do before we go onto the Assessment tomorrow. You need to resist eating any smarties until after the lesson, otherwise the data won t be accurate. 1. Empty out your Smarties (or something similar) into your work space in front of you. Remember to make sure the space is clean otherwise you won t be able to eat the chocolates after the lesson. 2. Sort them into groups and create a table or pictogram to show how many of each colour you had in your packet. 3. Turn this data into a bar chart, referring back to the knowledge and skills to remind you what a good bar chart needs. 4. You could make your bar chart colours match the colours of the Smarties. 5. When your bar chart is complete, and with parent/carer permission, your Smarties are free to be eaten!

16. Activity 2 If I roll a dice 30 times, how many times is each number rolled? First create a tally chart. Then roll the dice and tally each score. After 30 rolls, total how many times each number was rolled. Now present your data on a bar chart. Can you think of your own question to investigate?
