Using data to support claims is the core focus of this Grade 5 Computer Science worksheet for the Data and Information topic. Students work with graphs, tables, and written scenarios to decide whether a claim is supported, identify the evidence that matters, and write conclusions that match the information presented. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Connect claims to evidence

The resource develops a clear reasoning sequence: students identify a claim, examine the available data, determine which evidence supports or does not support that claim, and then form a conclusion. Key vocabulary includes claim, evidence, conclusion, and support, giving students the language they need to explain their reasoning instead of simply choosing an answer.

Students also practice interpreting information from graphs and tables. They must look closely at the data display, cite specific evidence, and use that evidence to justify a response. This makes the worksheet useful for building data literacy alongside written reasoning skills.

Practice through varied response types

The worksheet includes multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer questions, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. These task types allow students to move from recognizing vocabulary and identifying evidence to explaining whether a claim is supported and writing a conclusion that fits the data.

Teacher support is included

• Student worksheet focused on claims, evidence, conclusions, graphs, tables, and data-supported reasoning
• Separate Teacher Guide PDF with Learning Objectives, Teaching Tips, Discussion Questions, and Common Mistakes

The Teacher Guide helps you introduce the vocabulary, model how to check a claim against a data display, prompt students to explain their evidence, and address common errors in reasoning.

Use it for data reasoning and review

This resource can follow a lesson on reading graphs and tables, support independent practice, or provide review when students are learning to justify answers with evidence. It is also useful when you want students to move beyond reading a chart at face value and explain how the information supports a specific statement.

The value of the worksheet comes from its emphasis on evidence-based thinking: students do not only read data; they use it to evaluate claims, justify responses, and write conclusions that match the information in front of them.
