In this unit pupils learn how to use ICT to represent information graphically. They learn how to create pictograms and how to answer simple questions on the data shown in their pictograms. Pupils will use a graphing package to create their work and will learn how to enter data correctly and how to use icons. Pupils will apply what they have learnt in this unit when classifying objects in science or mathematics; undertaking investigations in mathematics, science and geography.

This unit is a natural progression from Unit 1D. Children need to handle, examine and describe real objects before they collect data and represent it as a picture. Time needs to be given to discussing why ICT can make the pictograms easier to read and compare it with making graphs manually.

2Count is a program that allows children to easily create pictograms. It has the added bonus of being very effective using it diaplayed on an Interactive Whiteboard because children can come up and click on the one they have chosen, and see it being added to the graph. 2Count is part of the Infant Video Toolkit 2 from 2Simple.
