year 2 statistics problem solving

Statistics in Year 2 (age 6–7)

In Year 2, your child will learn to draw simple charts and graphs. They will be able to sort categories by their quantities and will be able to compare sets of data.

The key words for this section are  block graph , pictogram , and tally chart .

What your child will learn

Take a look at the National Curriculum expectations for statistics in Year 2 (age 6–7):

Draw pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams, and tables

A pictogram is a graph that uses pictures to represent quantity:

A tally chart uses marks to represent numbers:

Your child will use block graphs (or block diagrams) where types of items are shown on the x -axis , the number of items is shown on the y -axis , and one block represents one item. A block graph is made up of separate blocks, and children can count the blocks to find out how many are in the group:

Count objects in multiple category and sort the categories by quantity

Your child will ask and answer simple questions about  pictograms , tally charts , block graphs , and simple tables. For example:

How many children like grapes? How many children like apples and bananas? How many more children prefer apples to grapes?

Total and compare categorical data

Your child will ask and answer questions about data they collect. For example:

How many children took part in the survey? What was their most popular option?

How to help at home

There are lots of everyday ways you can help your child to understand statistics. Here are just a few ideas.

1. Present data

In school, your child will be learning to present data with simple tables, pictograms , tally charts , and block graphs . You can encourage your child at home by having them investigate topics that particularly interest them and then present their data in tables, charts, and graphs.

For instance, your child could collect information about the planets in our solar system, favourite book characters, or football. See if they can create their own tables, charts, and graphs to represent the data in new and interesting ways. For example, they could by compare football players by goals scored so far this season.

Your child can record their findings using tables and present them with pictograms or block graphs.

Your child might need extra help when it comes to creating block graphs. Block graphs show types of items on the x -axis ,  the number of items on the y -axis , and have one block representing each item:

Once your child has practised lots of different ways of showing data, your child should be able to pick when it is best to use a block graph and when it is best to use a different method. They should be able to explain why.

2. Conduct a survey

If your child would prefer to gather their own data, why not do a survey? They could ask family and friends about their favourite food, film, sport, or anything else that takes their fancy.

Encourage your child to analyse their data and discuss any interesting findings. For example, did lots of people have the same favourite food? How many more people chose the most popular choice compared to the least popular choice?

Ask questions about the data they have found and encourage your child to begin asking their own questions, such as, ‘If I asked this question at school, would I get different results?’

3. Interpret data

You can help your child learn to interpret data in the form of tables,  pictograms , tally charts , and block graphs by encouraging them to explore interesting topics. For example, if your child is interested in football, encourage them to interpret football team statistics in tables, charts, and graphs. You can find lots of examples online and in football magazines.

Look at non-fiction texts together. Can your child find any data presented in interesting ways? Encourage them to chat about the data they find and point out anything they would not have expected.

It is thought that approximately 70% of schools in the UK follow the White Rose Maths scheme and this is reflected in the thousands of students Third Space Learning tutors every week. Our tutors are highly skilled maths and pedagogy experts, well trained in the language, representations and approach used by White Rose. They are therefore able to deliver a one to one lesson that feels familiar to students who are also used to White Rose. 

Throughout this article you’ll see example lesson slides and example questions from Third Space Learning’s Year 2 maths curriculum that exemplify best practice teaching to the White Rose Maths Year 2 scheme. 

We’ve also provided lots of links to White Rose Maths Year 2 resources that are suitable for use for each topic.In addition to the links provided, Third Space Learning also offers libraries for White Rose Maths Year 1 , White Rose Maths Year 3 , White Rose Maths Year 4 , White Rose Maths Year 5 and White Rose Maths Year 6 . 

About the White Rose Maths Year 2 Scheme of Learning

The primary school White Rose Maths scheme of learning has gone through several iterations and versions up to the current version 3. The scheme of learning SOL is designed as guidance and it is not necessarily intended for each small step to take one lesson. As with all teaching, it is important that teachers adapt this SOL for their class/ pupils. 

Topics covered in Year 2 White Rose Maths scheme of learning work

The White Rose Maths Year 2 SOL outlines which topics are taught, and when, throughout the autumn, spring and summer terms of Year 2. 

The breakdown for Version 3 of the scheme of learning is as follows 

• Place value
• Addition and subtraction
• Multiplication and division
• Length and height
• Mass, capacity and temperature
• Position and direction

​​Third Space Learning has created several collections of White Rose Maths aligned resources for all primary year groups from early years through to Year 6. These resources can provide a different perspective on a topic and so help pupils spend the time needed to fully embed a concept.

Here is a summary of the different collections available for schools following Year 2 White Rose Maths, many of them free to download from our maths hub and some are premium resources. Links to the topic specific versions are provided within each termly breakdown below:

Ready to go lesson slides

These ready-to-go lesson slides come in the form of editable powerpoints with related worksheets that are designed for everyday teaching. The slides cover both version 2 of the White Rose scheme of learning (in blue) and version 3 of the scheme of work. They also include support slides that can be used to support pupils who need a little extra  pre/ post teaching to support their understanding.

Year 2 ready-to-go lesson slides

Pre and Post Diagnostic Questions 

These tests can be used before starting the place value block to assess gaps, and after teaching the place value block to identify progress. 

Diagnostic Assessments Year 2

Worked Examples

Pupils check over completed questions to identify errors (or identify correct answers). Pupils are encouraged to explain the errors they find, not just ‘mark’ work. These worked examples help to solidify understanding by getting the pupil to discuss errors and how to avoid them. 

Year 2 Worked Examples

White Rose Maths Year 2 autumn term

In the autumn block, Year 2 focuses on place value, addition & subtraction and shape

Place value is a significant proportion of the autumn Year 2 maths curriculum. Students begin the block, focusing on: numbers to 20; counting objects to 100 and recognising tens and ones (using materials and a range of representations to do this). They use a place value chart to partition numbers to hundred and learn to write numbers to 100 in words. Students are also introduced to the < , > and = symbols to compare and order numbers to 100 and learn to count in steps of 2, 3 and 5 from zero.

Example year 2 place value questions

1. What number is represented here. How many tens and how many ones are there?

Answer: 63, 6 tens and 3 ones

2. Sam ate 14 grapes and Jamie ate 21. Did Sam eat more or less grapes than Jamie

Answer: Sam ate less grapes

Addition and subtraction is another large block in the year 2 maths curriculum; spanning five weeks. Pupils use concrete objects and pictorial representations, applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods and extend their understanding of the language of addition and subtraction to include sum and difference. 

Children begin by recapping number bonds to 10. They learn to recall and use addition & subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100. Pupils also use  concrete objects and pictorial representations to add and subtract: two-digit numbers and ones; two-digit numbers and tens; two two-digit numbers and three one-digit numbers. They also learn to recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use this to check calculations and solve missing number problems.

Example year 2 addition & subtraction questions

1a) 24 + 3 = 

b) 57 – 4 = 

2. Sophie had 7 pencils. She gave 3 pencils to her friend. How many did she have left?

Answer: 4 pencils

Shape is the final block of the autumn term. Pupils learn to identify and describe the properties of a range of 2D, including number of sides and lines of symmetry and 3D shapes, including the number of edges, faces and vertices . Students also learn to read and write the names for the shapes; sort shapes and make patterns with both 2D and 3D shapes.

Example year 2 shape questions

1. Match the shape to the correct name:

White Rose Maths Year 2 spring term

In the spring block Year 2 focuses on money, multiplication & division, length & height, and mass, capacity & temperature.

Pupils build on their knowledge of coins from year 1, learning to recognise and use symbols for pounds and pence and combining amounts to make a particular value. Students also learn to find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts and solve simple problems involving the addition and subtraction of money, including giving change.

Example year 2 money questions

1. Count the money. How much is there in total?

Answer: 37p

2. Mason bought a lolly for 7p and a bag of sweets for 25p. How much did he spend altogether?

Answer: 32p

Multiplication and division is one of the largest blocks in the year 2 maths curriculum, spanning 5 weeks in total. Pupils learn to recall the multiplication and division facts and times tables for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables and are introduced to the multiplication symbol. Children work with a range of practical resources and investigate a range of contexts in which multiplication and division relate to grouping and sharing, to arrays and to repeated addition.

Example year 2 multiplication and division questions

1. There are 8 pencils in  a pack. How many are there in 2 packs?

2. Hamza shares his 20 sweets between him and his 4 friends. How many sweets do each of the 5 children get?

Answer: 5 sweets each

Pupils build on their understanding of measures from year 1, to begin using standard units of measurement with increasing accuracy. Children learn to measure in centimetres and metres and to compare and order lengths & heights.

Example year 2 length and height questions

1. What is the length of the toy car?

Can you put a ruler this and a picture of something like a toy car, for children to measure?

Answer: 12cm

In year 2, pupils are introduced to mass, capacity and temperature, and learn to measure in grams, kilograms, millilitres and litres. The four operations are used to solve problems with both mass and capacity and children begin using ℃ to describe temperature. 

Example year 2 mass, capacity and temperature questions

1. What is the capacity of the jug?

Answer: 600ml 

2. Maisie is doing some baking. She measured out 50g of flour and 25g of sugar. How much flour and sugar does she have altogether?

Answer: 75g

White Rose Maths Year 2 summer term

In the summer block Year 2 focuses on: fractions, time, statistics and position & direction.

In year 2, pupils begin by exploring the concept of parts/whole and equal/unequal parts. Children learn to recognise and find a half, a third and a quarter and are introduced to the terms ‘unit’ and ‘non-unit’ fraction. Pupils also solve problems using shapes, objects and quantities and learn how to count in fractions up to a whole.

Example year 2 fractions questions

1. Colour in the fraction given on each shape.

2. Abdulla had 14 sweets. He gave half of them to his friend. How many sweets did he have left?

Answer: \frac{1}{2} of 14 = 7 sweets

In year 2, pupils become more fluent in telling the time on an analogue clock; progressing from telling the time to o’clock and half past, to learning to read the time to five minutes, including quarter past and quarter to. By this stage, children should also know how many minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day.

Example year 2 time questions

1. Draw hands on the clock so it is showing 20 past 5.

2. Oliver got on the bus at 10 o’clock and got off again at half past 10. How long was he on the bus for?

Answer: Half an hour / 30 minutes

Pupils record, interpret, collate, organise and compare information. They learn to construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and tables and answer questions by counting the number of objects in each category and sorting the categories by quantity.

Example year 2 statistics questions

1. Zanab carried out a survey on the favourite foods for children in her year group. She recorded the results as a tally chart. 

a) What was the most popular food?

b) Which was the least popular food?

c) How many children chose hot dogs as their favourite food?

d) How many more children chose pizza than pasta?

c) 9 children

d) 6 more children

In year 2, pupils learn to describe movement and turns, using the language of angles. They also learn to work with patterns of shapes, including those in different orientations.

Example year 2 position & direction  questions

1. a) Use the words forwards, backwards, left and right to plan a route home for the cat.

Answer: 3 squares forwards and 2 squares right (other routes are possible, for example 2 squares down and 3 squares right)

Year 2 is an exciting time for children. They’ve completed their first year of formal education and they’re ready to tackle more advanced lessons.

Children will spend Year 2 working towards the end of their Key Stage 1 journey. They’ll continue developing foundational knowledge in core subjects and by the end of the year, they’ll be ready and keen to embrace more complex lessons and a more independent learning style.

As for Year 2 maths, children will consolidate their knowledge of maths fundamentals while developing their maths reasoning and problem-solving abilities. When it comes to making sure children engage with the Year 2 maths curriculum, learning resources are hugely important. The best learning materials will help children see just how fun maths can be — they’ll get children excited to learn.

Master the Curriculum is here to provide teachers and parents with all of the Year 2 maths resources they need to help children embrace learning with a smile. From maths worksheets to teaching slides, to interactive videos, our resources can help children master maths and have fun while doing so.

Year 2 White Rose Maths Resources: Learning Materials That Support Teaching For Mastery

Millions of parents, teachers and children all over the UK have discovered the incredible benefits of the White Rose Maths approach. White Rose is all about teaching for mastery, showing all children that they have the potential to become confident mathematicians and encouraging little ones to have fun with number problems.

Here at Master the Curriculum, we’re big fans of the White Rose approach, which is why our Year 2 maths resources are aligned with the White Rose Maths frameworks and small steps to progression.By using our resources to follow the White Rose small steps, you can help children become enthusiastic maths whizzes. They’ll develop a deep understanding of basic maths concepts, and with strong foundational knowledge, they’ll be ready and excited to tackle more challenging number problems as the year goes on.

Our White Rose-style resources are also differentiated (by complexity, not by number), making them perfect for children with varying levels of attainment. Pupils who grasp concepts more quickly than others can deepen their understanding with more complex fluency tasks, rather than move on to new content and topics ahead of their classmates. This way, you can make sure your whole class moves through content at the same pace — no one falls behind or misses out on learning opportunities.

Statistics and Probability Worksheets

Welcome to the statistics and probability page at Math-Drills.com where there is a 100% chance of learning something! This page includes Statistics worksheets including collecting and organizing data, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode and range) and probability.

Students spend their lives collecting, organizing, and analyzing data, so why not teach them a few skills to help them on their way. Data management is probably best done on authentic tasks that will engage students in their own learning. They can collect their own data on topics that interest them. For example, have you ever wondered if everyone shares the same taste in music as you? Perhaps a survey, a couple of graphs and a few analysis sentences will give you an idea.

Statistics has applications in many different fields of study. Budding scientists, stock market brokers, marketing geniuses, and many other pursuits will involve managing data on a daily basis. Teaching students critical thinking skills related to analyzing data they are presented will enable them to make crucial and informed decisions throughout their lives.

Probability is a topic in math that crosses over to several other skills such as decimals, percents, multiplication, division, fractions, etc. Probability worksheets will help students to practice all of these skills with a chance of success!

Most Popular Statistics and Probability Worksheets this Week

Mean, Median, Mode and Range Worksheets

Calculating the mean, median, mode and range are staples of the upper elementary math curriculum. Here you will find worksheets for practicing the calculation of mean, median, mode and range. In case you're not familiar with these concepts, here is how to calculate each one. To calculate the mean, add all of the numbers in the set together and divide that sum by the number of numbers in the set. To calculate the median, first arrange the numbers in order, then locate the middle number. In sets where there are an even number of numbers, calculate the mean of the two middle numbers. To calculate the mode, look for numbers that repeat. If there is only one of each number, the set has no mode. If there are doubles of two different numbers and there are more numbers in the set, the set has two modes. If there are triples of three different numbers and there are more numbers in the set, the set has three modes, and so on. The range is calculated by subtracting the least number from the greatest number.

Note that all of the measures of central tendency are included on each page, but you don't need to assign them all if you aren't working on them all. If you're only working on mean, only assign students to calculate the mean.

In order to determine the median, it is necessary to have your numbers sorted. It is also helpful in determining the mode and range. To expedite the process, these first worksheets include the lists of numbers already sorted.

• Calculating Mean, Median, Mode and Range from Sorted Lists Sets of 5 Numbers from 1 to 10 Sets of 5 Numbers from 10 to 99 Sets of 5 Numbers from 100 to 999 Sets of 10 Numbers from 1 to 10 Sets of 10 Numbers from 10 to 99 Sets of 10 Numbers from 100 to 999 Sets of 20 Numbers from 10 to 99 Sets of 15 Numbers from 100 to 999

Normally, data does not come in a sorted list, so these worksheets are a little more realistic. To find some of the statistics, it will be easier for students to put the numbers in order first.

• Calculating Mean, Median, Mode and Range from Unsorted Lists Sets of 5 Numbers from 1 to 10 Sets of 5 Numbers from 10 to 99 Sets of 5 Numbers from 100 to 999 Sets of 10 Numbers from 1 to 10 Sets of 10 Numbers from 10 to 99 Sets of 10 Numbers from 100 to 999 Sets of 20 Numbers from 10 to 99 Sets of 15 Numbers from 100 to 999

Collecting and Organizing Data

Teaching students how to collect and organize data enables them to develop skills that will enable them to study topics in statistics with more confidence and deeper understanding.

Spinners can be used for probability experiments or for theoretical probability. Students should intuitively know that a number that is more common on a spinner will come up more often. Spinning 100 or more times and tallying the results should get them close to the theoretical probability. The more sections there are, the more spins will be needed.

Non-numerical spinners can be used for experimental or theoretical probability. There are basic questions on every version with a couple extra questions on the A and B versions. Teachers and students can make up other questions to ask and conduct experiments or calculate the theoretical probability. Print copies for everyone or display on an interactive white board.

Reasoning/Problem Solving

Year 2 Reasoning

Many schools are using some of the ideas of the ‘mastery programme’ as used in Singapore and other parts of the Far East. The aim of this programme is to give children a deep understanding and fluency in the fundamentals of maths. Because this understanding is deep it will not have to be re-taught at a later time; something which happens all too often at the moment.

This new approach needs new resources, especially geared towards reasoning and problem solving. Thankfully we have always considered reasoning to be a key part of the maths curriculum and many of our resources in all categories are designed for this. But we also have a separate category in each year group called, ‘Reasoning and Problem Solving’ where you will find a rich source of material.  In Year 2 we have a large selection of  ‘How many ways ….’ type of practical exercises (e.g. How many different ways can you score 12 with 3 dice?) These encourage children to think logically and order their results so that they can be sure that they have all possible answers. A favourite of mine is the ‘Two Coin Challenge’. Progressing from these practical tasks are the more abstract challenges such as making 2-digit numbers from a set of number cards.

Finally, take some time out to play the maths games such as Nim which originated in China. They are great at developing logical thinking and developing a winning strategy. You should never lose if you go first! These pages really are not to be missed and we thoroughly recommend them.
