Keywords

Pictogram - A pictogram is a graph that uses pictures to represent information.
Tally - A tally is a count of something. Tally marks are used to keep count and these are grouped in groups of 5 using a specific pattern.

Common misconception

Pupils may misunderstand the contexts or language within worded problems and therefore not understand the calculation required to solve.

Model clearly how to identify key phrases and words which will identify the operation and equation required for word problems.

Pictograms are used in this lesson and pupils learn a one-to-many correspondence. Take time to ensure pupils understand what each picture in the pictogram represents by focusing on the key, especially when the value can change.
