- simple frequency tables;
- pictograms – symbol representing two units;

What if pupils find this a barrier?
Use a group of objects (all red) and use the program Handy Graph. (www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primary/publications/mathematics/12880/)
As you count the objects select the up arrow to add them to the red bar on the graph.
Alternatively, draw a pictogram as you count the objects, placing them in the red classification on the pictogram.
Divide a large piece of paper in two with a fold line down the middle. Identify the features on either side of the line and ask pupils to place the objects on the correct side.
