Dear Year 4,

We hope you and your family had a wonderful half-term.

Welcome to your first home learning pack of Summer 2!

We are so proud of the way you are all coping with working from home and we hope that you are still managing to

engage with the home learning we are setting each week.

Please let us know if you are having any difficulties with any of the tasks – even though we can’t see each other, we

are always here to help!

Remember, our email address is [email protected]. You can use this to ask any questions or

send us any of the work you would like us to look at!

We are still missing you so much and can’t wait to be back together again.

Best wishes,

Monday 1) 2) 3)

L.O. to interpret Success Criteria:

Try and recall the various methods that can be used to record data including tally charts, bar chart and pictograms. Watch this video to help you remember: https://youtu.be/5sZvuIjCkjg

Remember to look at the key when working with pictograms. One picture can possibly represent more than one object.

When drawing a bar chart, remember there are two axes, the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

What do you notice about the scale of the bar chart?

Week 6 to 7 –StatisticsYear 4 Summer Term

Reasoning and Problem Solving

I would tell Jamie

to use a different

scale for his bar

chart, because the

numbers in the

table are quite

large. The chart

could go up in 5s

because the

numbers are all

multiples of 5.

Interpret Charts

Possible answer: I

would represent

the data in a table,

because it would

be difficult to show

the numbers

accurately in a

pictogram or bar

chart.

It is not a good

idea, because it

would be difficult to

show amounts

which are not

multiples of 5

Here is some information about the

number of tickets sold for a concert.

Jamie starts to create a bar chart to

represent the number of concert tickets

sold during the week.

What advice would you give Jamie about

the scale he has chosen?

What would be a better scale to use?

Halifax City Football Club sold the

following number of Season Tickets:

• Male Adults – 6,382

• Female Adults – 5,850

• Boys – 3,209

• Girls – 5,057

Would you use a bar chart, table or

pictogram to represent this data?

Explain why.

Jessica wants to use a pictogram to

represent the favourite drinks of everyone

in her class.

Explain why this is not a good idea.

I will use this image

to represent 5 children

Tuesday 1) Produce your own table/bar chart/pictogram.

Examples of information you can record include:

You can take a Tally of how many red, blue, black and white

cars you see on a walk or along your road.

You can take a walk in a park and Tally how many people you

see cycling, walking, jogging or sitting.

L.O. to interpret Success Criteria

Decide which scale (y-axis) will be most appropriate when drawing your own bar chart.

Think about why we use the different methods of data representation.

Remember to explain your answers.

Thursday 1) At home, decide on some data that you would like to collect. For example, favourite books, films, food (maybe you can call friends and family to get their votes recorded) Collect and record the data in a table then choose to represent the data in a pictogram or a bar chart. Give reasons for your choice.

Create questions for a friend to answer using your data.

Author 1: The problem with zoos is that lots of them soothe their feelings of guilt by telling themselves that they are really doing these animals a favour by contributing towards the conservation of the species. The reality, however, is very different. Many of these animals that are bred in captivity never get to experience their true identity. They never get to roam around freely, making relationships and acting in a natural way. They are told what to eat, when to sleep, what to play

L.O. to retrieve and infer Here are two authors opinions on Zoos. Read them both and then answer the following questions: 1. Which author thinks Zoos are a good idea? Give two reasons why they think this. 2. Author 1 thinks Zoos let animals live longer in captivity, but why might that be a bad thing? 3. “Isn’t it better to have these animals in zoos around the county so they are accessible to everyone and not just the elite who can afford it?” What does Author 2 mean when they say elite?

with (if anything!) and how to act. They will never be released as they wouldn’t be able to survive for more than five minutes in the wild. So, the next time you see an animal in the zoo, please consider these points and DON’T be fooled by the signs telling you the zoo is keeping the animal contained for the better good because this is definitely not the case! Some might say that zoos help the animal have a longer life BUT does longer necessarily mean BETTER? Ok, so the animal might have another few years on this planet, but you have to ask yourself: does it really want those extra years? Wouldn’t it be better to put it out of its misery sooner? In the wild, animals live life to the full every day, and, whilst I accept that this may mean they are subject to an early death by predators or disease, this still has to be better than sitting in a tiny cage having humans shout at you and having cameras flash at you all day, every day, doesn’t it? Author 2: Can everyone afford a trip to Africa or the Arctic? I don’t think so. This is where zoos come into their own. Instead of having to pay thousands on flights and travel, the cost of the zoo is nothing AND you are at least guaranteed to see some animals. There have been stories where people have paid extraordinary amounts of money to go on safari and they haven’t even seen a bird! What a waste of money and time! Isn’t it better to have these animals in zoos around the county so they are accessible to everyone and not just the elite who can afford it? If someone has never seen a tiger in real-life, why would they bother donating money to save the tigers in the wild? However, once they have seen the beauty and majestic qualities a tiger has, by visiting a zoo, then they will surely be much more likely to donate in the shop or when they get home. Therefore, that one tiger in the zoo has helped save thousands of others in their natural habitats. Some endangered species in the wild find it almost impossible to find a mate as their species numbers are so small, making an already awful situation even worse. This is where zoos with a comprehensive conservation programme come into their own. Through these programmes, animals can be paired up with a suitable mate and they will go on to have strong babies that have a good chance of being released back into the wild. The animals remaining in the zoo lead a peaceful and contented life with a companion rather than having the gruelling struggle of trying the find a mate for their whole life.

Use the sentence to help you figure it out. Give another example of a word they could have used. 4. Author 1 argues that animals bred in captivity never get to experience their true identity. Give 3 examples of things they can’t do. 5. What does Author 2 think will make people more likely to donate money in the zoo shop or when they get home in order to help save tigers? 6. Do you think we should have Zoos? Which argument do you agree with and why? (You can agree with both) Success Criteria - retrieve information from the text - use your knowledge to help answer questions - to empathise with the animals in zoos
