What is the Data? Worksheets
This set of worksheets complements the Class Activity- What is the Data? Students can develop a focus question, record data in frequency tables and create a graph. This resource serves as an extension for independent work on concepts.
Learning goals
- We are learning to interpret and compare data displays.
- We are learning to collect data by observing, collecting and accessing data sets and recording data using appropriate methods, e.g. lists, tallies, symbols, tables and spreadsheets.
