Mathematics - Primary 5 - Data presentation

Term: 3^rd Term

Week 9

Class: Primary 5
Age: 10 years
Duration: 40 minutes of 5 periods
Date:
Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Data Presentation

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

Define statistics as the collection, classification, analysis, presentation, and interpretation of data.
Prepare a tally and record simple data.
Represent data using pictograms, bar graphs, and pie charts.
Tell a statistics story from data collected and draw conclusions from the information.
Solve real-life problems using statistics.
Solve problems on quantitative aptitude related to data and statistics.

INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES:

Demonstration
Guided discovery
Problem-solving approach
Group discussions and storytelling
Use of teaching aids

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

Tally chart template
Flashcards with sample data
Graph papers
Markers, whiteboard, erasers
Pictogram and bar graph charts
Paper plates or printed circles for pie chart construction
Real-life objects (e.g. colored beads, bottle tops, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES:

PERIOD 1 and 2

PRESENTATION

Step	Teacher’s Activity	Pupil’s Activity
STEP 1 – INTRODUCTION	Introduces the topic "Statistics" and explains it as the collection, classification, analysis, presentation, and interpretation of data.	Pupils listen attentively and ask questions for clarification.
STEP 2 – EXPLANATION	Uses everyday examples (e.g., class favorite fruits, number of siblings) to explain how data is collected and grouped into tallies.	Pupils give examples and participate in class discussion.
STEP 3 - DEMONSTRATION	Demonstrates how to create a tally chart using a simple survey of favorite fruits in class.	Pupils assist in collecting and tallying responses.
STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING	Writes notes on the board; pupils copy and interpret tallies.	Pupils copy notes and practice recording tallies.

NOTE (On the Board):
Definition of Statistics:

Statistics is the process of collecting, organizing, analyzing, presenting, and interpreting data.

Example of a Tally Chart:

Fruit	Tally	Frequency
Apple
Banana
Orange

Exercise:

Create a tally chart showing the number of books pupils read in a week.

EVALUATION:

Ask pupils to define statistics in their own words.
Have them create a tally from a set of data.

CLASSWORK:

Conduct a survey in class (e.g. mode of transport to school) and record a tally.

ASSIGNMENT:

Interview 10 family or community members and tally their favorite food or sport.

CONCLUSION:
The teacher encourages participation and commends students for their contributions.

PERIOD 3 and 4

PRESENTATION

Step	Teacher’s Activity	Pupil’s Activity
STEP 1 – INTRODUCTION	Recaps previous lesson and introduces data presentation through graphs.	Pupils recall tally charts and listen.
STEP 2 – EXPLANATION	Explains pictograms, bar graphs, and pie charts.	Pupils observe examples and ask questions.
STEP 3 - DEMONSTRATION	Demonstrates how to draw a pictogram and bar chart using data from class tally. Then shows a simple pie chart using colored portions on a paper plate.	Pupils create a pictogram and bar chart. They observe the pie chart.
STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING	Pupils copy format and key rules for each graph type.	Pupils take notes and replicate examples.

NOTE (On the Board):
Types of Data Presentation:

Pictogram: Uses pictures to represent data (e.g., 🍎 for 1 apple)
Bar Graph: Uses bars of different heights to represent data
Pie Chart: Uses parts of a circle to represent data

Example: Bar Graph of Favorite Subjects
(Make a simple bar graph with Subject on X-axis and Number of Pupils on Y-axis)

Exercise:

Represent your class’ favorite sport using a pictogram and bar graph.

EVALUATION:

Ask pupils to draw a pictogram and bar chart from given data.

CLASSWORK:

Use class data (e.g., number of siblings) to draw a bar graph.

ASSIGNMENT:

Find an article or TV program that presents data using a graph and describe what the data shows.

CONCLUSION:
The teacher revises key points and praises pupils’ neat graphs.

PERIOD 5

PRESENTATION

Step	Teacher’s Activity	Pupil’s Activity
STEP 1 - INTRODUCTION	Asks pupils how data can tell a story (e.g., school attendance).	Pupils respond and suggest examples.
STEP 2 - EXPLANATION	Tells a short story from a pie chart (e.g., types of pets owned by classmates).	Pupils listen and interpret the data visually.
STEP 3 - PROBLEM SOLVING	Gives real-life examples (e.g., rainfall per month) and solves problems on it.	Pupils solve given problems.
STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING	Pupils write down story data interpretations and key questions for graph analysis.	Pupils take notes and practice problem-solving.

NOTE (On the Board):
Telling a Story with Statistics:

What does the data say?
What is the highest/lowest?
What trend do you notice?

Real-life Example:
Monthly School Attendance:

Month	Number of Pupils Present
Jan	22
Feb	20
Mar	25

Exercise:

Interpret a graph: What month had the highest attendance? Why?

EVALUATION:

Ask pupils to tell a story from a pictogram or bar chart.
Solve a word problem involving statistics.

CLASS ACTIVITY:

In groups, tell a story using bar graphs and pie charts created from class surveys.

CLASSWORK:

Answer interpretation questions from given graphs.

ASSIGNMENT:

Create your own survey at home, collect data, and present it using a bar chart or pictogram.

CONCLUSION:
Teacher applauds the pupils' efforts and reminds them how statistics are useful in everyday life.

SUMMARY OF LESSON:

This week, pupils explored the topic of Data Presentation through hands-on collection, classification, and interpretation of data. They prepared tally charts, constructed pictograms, bar graphs, and pie charts, and told stories using statistical data. They applied their knowledge in real-life contexts and practiced interpreting information, helping to develop both analytical and communication skills in mathematics
