Learning goals
- We are learning to collect data using surveys, sort data into categories and display data in lists and tables.
- We are learning to gather data and record observations to answer a question.
- We are learning to collect, check and classify data.
- 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.
- We are learning to create, compare and interpret data displayed in various graphs, including using software, e.g. lists, tables and infographics.
- We are learning to collect and organise data and create graphs, tables and lists.
