|strategy= | |strategy= The lesson offers opportunity for exploring measurement, relationships between measurement, and ways to visualise and summarise this data.

This also allows the teacher to change the 'range' for the frequency counts, and discuss with pupils the impact of this on the pie chart, and whether this is a good representation.
