Learning goals
- We are learning to collect, interpret and discuss data using digital tools, e.g. tally charts, digital tables, graphing or spreadsheets; represent data using many-to-one pictographs, column graphs and other displays.
- We are learning to construct data displays from given or collected data, including tables, column graphs and picture graphs where one picture can represent many data values.
- We are learning to acquire data and construct displays including column graphs, dot plots and tables appropriate for the type of data, determining the highest frequency (mode) of the data set.
- We are learning to construct displays, including column graphs, dot plots and tables, appropriate for the type of data.
- 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.
