Learning goals
- We are learning to record, compare and discuss data and create one-to-one displays.
- We are learning to draw simple data displays and make simple inferences.
- We are learning to represent and compare data displayed in various graphs, e.g. lists, tally charts, column graphs, picture graphs.
- We are learning to create displays of data using lists, table and picture graphs and interpret them.
