Show Me the Data! - Symbolic Data and Graphing Worksheets
This Foundation-level maths resource teaches students to explore symbolic data and basic graphing through two engaging worksheets. In Part 1, students match symbols to meanings and use block data to represent class activity preferences. In Part 2, students draw their own family data using symbols and record it in a table. This activity builds skills in reading, interpreting, and creating data using symbols, all aligned with early statistics outcomes. An answer sheet is included for Part 1.
