Learning goals

  • We are learning to identify and explain how analytical images like figures, tables, diagrams, maps and graphs contribute to our understanding of verbal information in factual and persuasive texts.
  • We are learning to identify and explain how analytical images like figures, tables, diagrams, maps and graphs contribute to our understanding of verbal information in factual and persuasive texts.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and to connect and compare content from a variety of sources.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to interpret and analyse information, comparing content from a variety of print and digital sources.
  • We are learning to use the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving the comparison of lengths and areas using appropriate units.
  • We are learning to interpret and compare the four types of data sets (ordinal, nominal, discrete, continuous) using comparative displays and determining the range, mode (frequency) and shape of data in graphs, dot plots and bar charts.
  • We are learning to pose questions, collect and interpret categorical or numerical data by observation or survey.
  • We are learning to interpret and compare data displays, including side-by-side column graphs, tables and diagrams for two categories (e.g. age, height) and compare the usefulness of each display for data interpretation.
  • We are learning to interpret secondary data (data collected by others) represented in digital media, books, scientific papers etc. and identify potentially misleading data representations.
  • We are learning to interpret secondary data (data collected by others) represented in digital media, books, scientific papers etc. and identify potentially misleading data representations.
  • We are learning to understand that the growth and survival of living things are affected by physical conditions of their environment.
