6 The table shows information about the birds in a garden.
| Bird | Number |
|---|---|
| Robin | 2 |
| Sparrow | 5 |
| Wren | 3 |
| Lark | 1 |
Draw a bar chart to show the information. [3 marks]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Linear scale starting at 0 and increasing in 1s on vertical axis Vertical axis labelled frequency or f or number Title given or horizontal axis labelled (types of) bird(s) Bars labelled with four bird names (allow R, S, W, L) Four bars with equal widths Equal gaps or no gaps between four bars All heights correct | B3 | Bar chart could be horizontal B3 for all criteria met B2 for 5 or 6 criteria met B1 for 3 or 4 criteria met correct or ft their increasing scale |
Additional guidance
| Mark intention throughout | |
| If grid is blank, allow axes to be transposed | |
| If axes and labels do not match the orientation of the bar chart then only the marks for crtieria 3 (must be a title), 5, 6 and 7 may be awarded | B1 max |
| All values not needed for axis scale eg 0 can be implied but spacing must be linear | |
| Scale of 2 units per square does not meet the first criterion | |
| Allow words after ‘Number’ on axis label eg ‘Number seen’, ‘Number of birds’. Also allow eg Amount of birds | |
| Title must include the word bird | |
| Condone different gap between the vertical axis and the first bar with other gaps equal or no other gaps | |
| If no axis scale, bars with heights 2, 5, 3, 1 meet heights criterion | |
| Points only or vertical lines can score the marks for criteria 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 | B2 max |
