Take three hands-up predictions, not open call-outs. Give five seconds of quiet think-time first.

Keep the question fixed for the whole-class walk-through; pupils choose their own question later in the Class Challenge.

Point at the gate-marks and read one row aloud slowly: five, ten, eleven, twelve. This is why we count in fives.

Then point from the tally row to the matching bar so the class sees the tally count IS the bar height. Ask which category won on both — the answer must match.

Talk this one through together — pupils take turns at the board and the class agrees or corrects out loud.

Run a quick show-of-hands per category, then a pupil adds that many taps to the row. Watch that the total across all rows equals the class size — that is the on-the-spot check for a miscount.

Once the tally is complete, read each row's count aloud and ask the class which game won before you name it. Pupils build the matching bar chart from these totals in their copies in the copybook step that follows the next demonstration.

Drive this interactive on the IWB; pupils call out each move and explain their thinking. Point to the colour key first, then compare one lunch's two bars before moving to the next. Link it straight back to the single-bar chart the class just built together: this is the same idea with a second class added, so pupils meet the paired chart while still in demonstration mode, before they set up their own copybook chart.
