Chart Champion
Visualise Data like a Pro!
Ready to sort the facts? Chart Champion turns raw numbers into clear, colorful graphs. Designed for Year 2 Statistics, this game makes data handling interactive and fun.

📚 Curriculum Focus (Statistics)
Chart Champion addresses the primary statistics goals for Key Stage 1:
- Data Interpretation Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple tables.
- Questioning Ask and answer simple questions by counting the number of objects in each category.
- Comparisons Answer questions about totalling and comparing categorical data (e.g., "How many more?").
🧠 Concrete to Pictorial
Maths mastery begins with real objects. This game acts as the bridge.
The "blocks" in the game mimic physical Unifix cubes used in classrooms. Stacking them on screen reinforces the concept that a taller column means a larger number.
