Graph of the Day is a free-to-try daily data-talk routine for the classroom. Every day it puts one curated real-world chart on the whiteboard — with a short story and ready-made discussion questions — so your class can read it together, say what they notice, and build data-handling, reasoning and oracy in about five minutes. No prep, no printing: open it and talk. Works on any whiteboard, laptop or tablet.
What is Graph of the Day?
A five-minute daily data talk — every day it shows one curated real-world chart with a short story and ready-made discussion questions, for the whiteboard. You read it together and talk about what you notice.
Is Graph of the Day free?
Yes — sign in with a free Sage Teachers account and use it every day, at no cost.
What ages and subjects is it for?
Any class from upper primary through secondary. It's ideal for maths data-handling, but the charts also fit geography, science, PSHE, and form-time oracy and current-affairs discussion.
Does it come with discussion questions?
Yes — each chart comes with a short story explaining it and a set of talk questions, so it's ready to run with no prep.
