(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Read the question twice. Be a detective with a magnifying glass. Spot words like total, most, least, how many more.

In KS1 Maths, children answer questions about data shown in tallies, pictograms, tables, and simple bar charts. They read the key or scale, compare categories, and work out totals and differences.

Key Terms

  • Pictogram: A chart that uses small pictures. The key tells you what each picture is worth.
  • Bar Chart: A chart with bars to show how many. Taller bars mean more.
  • Total / Difference: Total means add everything. Difference asks “how many more” or “how many fewer”.

Warm up with a quick activity: try the Numeracy Game before you start the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I read a KS1 pictogram correctly?

Start with the key to see what each picture is worth. Count carefully, then use the totals to answer questions like most, least, or how many more.

What does “how many more” mean in data questions?

“How many more” asks for the difference. Subtract the smaller amount from the larger, for example 9 cars and 6 bikes means 9 − 6 = 3 more cars.

How can children check answers in bar charts?

Re-read the question, trace the bars to the numbers on the scale, and compare again. If using a key or scale, check it twice.
