Statistical Investigations - Student Reference Card
This card serves as a great reference for students to refer to when trying to remember the steps involved in performing a statistical investigation.
This worksheet is part of a larger unit designed for Year 4 that helps students develop their statistical investigation skills by walking them through the necessary stages to plan, conduct and analyse a statistical investigation and then communicate their findings.
