MA2-DATA-01 collects discrete data and constructs graphs using a given scaleMA2-DATA-02 interprets data in tables, dot plots and column graphsContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Collect discrete data
- Pose questions about a matter of interest to obtain information that can be recorded in categories
- Collect data from identified sources
- Predict and create a list of categories for efficient data collection in relation to a matter of interest
Organise and display data using tables and graphs
- Create a list or table to organise the data
- Construct column graphs (with scale intervals of 1) and dot plots using relevant software where appropriate
- Mark equal spaces (intervals) on axes, name and label axes and choose appropriate titles for column graphs
Interpret and compare data
- Describe and interpret information presented in tally tables and column graphs
- Investigate how data is interpreted to make decisions
- Represent the same dataset using more than one type of display and compare the displays (Statistical reasoning)
