Optional – Bird Count

Take part in the national RSPB bird count. Get a pen and some paper and count away. Be safe and warm and count as many birds as you can for ten minutes. You could even do this on a walk – remember to be quiet – by standing in the same place for ten minutes. Don’t worry if you don’t know specific names, give the bird a nickname, for example ‘yellow beak’ and look it up later if you can.

Maths – creating a bar chart

WALT create a bar chart

S2S: I can…

• look at a modelled example to know how to create one

• use a ruler

• put my data into a bar chart

Maths – creating a bar chart

Either using your bird count data or the data below, create your own bar chart in your books. Jack’s data would be a good one to use if you are not sure. Use the modelled example as a guide to help you and remember to use a ruler! ☺

Modelled example – Poppy’s data

Modelled example – Poppy’s data

Scale on the y axis – number of birds.

Will you go up in 1s, 5s, 10s etc?

Modelled example – Poppy’s data

The bar chart needs four bars – the same

width (2cm) with 1cm gap inbetween.

Modelled example – Poppy’s data

Create y axis –numbers on the lines

Modelled example – Poppy’s data

Use data to create bars – remember your ruler!

Modelled example – Poppy’s data

Join all your dots to create your four bars. Look at how they are the same 2cm width.

Modelled example – Poppy’s data chart

Add in …• bird names• label for x axis (Types of birds) • label for y axis (Number of birds)• title (A bar chart to show birds in

Poppy’s garden.)

**Colour is optional**

• y axis (vertical line) has the number of birds seen. Notice on the y axis the numbers are written on the line.

• x axis (horizontal line) shows the different types of birds. The bird species names are written underneath the bar on the x axis.

• Bars must be even – mine are all 2cm.

• Have you written a title and underlined it?

• Look back a slide to see my example if you need to
