The Resources within this shop are all designed for the teaching of Mathematics for those in the age range 7 - 18 years old. Most resources consist of a PowerPoint lesson followed by a worksheet for the students. With over twenty nine years of experience, the powerpoint/worksheets within the shop have been used successfully by myself and colleagues over that time. As a head of department for over 15 years, the department has yearly been judged as adding substantial value to students grades.

Bar Charts

This lesson I usually teach to the younger students. I prefer to drawn horizontal bar charts as the labelling is much easier to represent. However there are examples of vertical bar charts in the powerpoint and worksheet. One of the slides is designed to carry out a tally chart in class. Once the tally has been collected you can place the information into the next slide and a horizontal bar chart for the live data will be presented.
