About this printable

This one-page mat combines maths and literacy: students record the paragraph topic, note key mathematical ideas or formulae, pick important data, choose a visual representation (table, bar, line or pie), interpret the data and then plan a paragraph with sections for topic sentence, evidence, analysis and conclusion. It includes a check-your-work checklist and a useful maths vocabulary bank to support accurate language use. Use it when pupils must write a short data-response or explain findings from a dataset or investigation.
