Year 7 Statistics Worksheets

Moving from concrete examples to abstract reasoning, these worksheets scaffold learning through carefully sequenced topics. Initial exercises use familiar contexts like school surveys before introducing formal statistical problems. The materials balance computational practice with interpretive skills, ensuring students can process data and articulate findings clearly. Each topic connects to the next, creating a coherent learning journey rather than isolated skill practice.

The core skills covered include:

• Frequency tables – organising raw data into clear categories

• Bar charts and pictograms – visual representation of categorical data

• Pie charts – understanding proportions and angle calculations

• Mean, median and mode – finding averages from data sets

• Range – measuring spread in numerical data

• Line graphs – showing change over time

• Probability basics – introducing likelihood and simple experiments

• Data collection methods – designing surveys and avoiding bias

• Interpreting results – drawing conclusions from statistical evidence

Statistical thinking shapes how students navigate information-rich environments beyond school. These worksheets highlight connections between classroom learning and authentic applications, demonstrating why statistical literacy matters for informed decision-making.

• Reading simple graphs in the news and sports

• Comparing attendance or scores at school

• Summarising survey results

• Tracking goals over time

• Looking at weather trends
