Spring Maths Year 2 statistics resources, White Rose aligned statistic resources

In year 2, children will learn about various statistical concepts, including tally charts, bar charts, and pictograms. These concepts are introduced in a way that makes them accessible and engaging for young learners, with practical examples and real-life scenarios. Learning about statistics improves children’s analytical and critical thinking. Children in year 2 are taught how to collect and sort data into pictograms, bar charts, and tally charts or tables. They are also taught to use the data they have organised, to ask and answer questions, either by counting individual groups, comparing categories, or adding up two or more categories.

Following the White Rose Maths progression for year 2 statistics, children will gain a solid understanding of the basics of statistics, which will help them to interpret and make sense of data throughout their education and beyond. Additionally, the skills and knowledge gained from this curriculum will provide a strong foundation for further mathematical learning in years to come.
