Fascinating Fact:

How many fewer. If blue hats are 7 and red hats are 10, then 10 − 7 = 3 fewer blue hats.

In KS1 Maths, pupils read categorical data in tallies, pictograms, tables, and simple bar charts. They compare groups, find the total, and work out the difference using addition or subtraction.

Key Terms

Category: A group or type in the chart, like apples, bananas, or grapes.
Compare: Look at two categories to see which has more, fewer, or the same.
Difference: How many more or fewer. Find it by subtracting one amount from another.

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