Collecting, sorting and organising data becomes more sophisticated in Year 4, with the use of pictograms, bar charts and graphs. Interpreting results of surveys is important, with children making simple and sensible predictions about what might happen if the survey was taken in slightly different circumstances.

More pictograms to interpret plus some ideas to create pictograms from data gathered.
Interpreting bar charts where the axis has divisions of 10 or 20. Convert the graph to a table.
Recording results in various forms, including the use of range, mode and median.
