Different Data Displays Presentation
This presentation teaches students to analyse and improve the effectiveness of data visualisations while also teaching the beginnings of data analysis with discussions of variation and distribution of data.
It is a part of a larger unit on data displays for Year 4 designed to help students create, improve, and understand data displays.

Learning goals
- We are learning to collect, interpret and discuss data using digital tools, e.g. tally charts, digital tables, graphing or spreadsheets; represent data using many-to-one pictographs, column graphs and other displays.
- We are learning to analyse and compare different data displays, e.g. diagrams, tables and graphs, to answer questions.
- We are learning to construct data displays from given or collected data, including tables, column graphs and picture graphs where one picture can represent many data values.
- We are learning to evaluate the effectiveness of different displays in illustrating data features including variability.
Curriculum alignment
AC9M4ST01
9
Acquire data for categorical and discrete numerical variables to address a question of interest or purpose using digital tools; represent data using many-to-one pictographs, column graphs and other displays or visualisations; interpret and discuss the information that has been created
AC9M4ST02
9
Analyse the effectiveness of different displays or visualisations in illustrating and comparing data distributions, then discuss the shape of distributions and the variation in the data
