Teach Students to Interpret Data Displays With Our Analysing Data Worksheet Set

Empower your students to become critical data thinkers with this engaging set of two-page worksheets designed to build data literacy and analytical skills. Each worksheet presents students with a visually rich data display—line graphs, pie charts or bar graphs—followed by a series of thoughtfully crafted questions. 

The first page focuses on foundational comprehension, such as interpreting axes and identifying trends, while the second page challenges students to think deeply, ask questions and consider the creator’s intent and potential bias. Perfect for upper primary and secondary classrooms, this analysing data worksheet set encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful discussion around data in the real world.
