MA3-DATA-01 constructs graphs using many-to-one scales MA3-DATA-02 interprets data displays, including timelines and line graphs

Collect categorical and discrete numerical data by observation or survey

  • Pose and refine questions to construct a survey to obtain categorical or discrete numerical data about a matter of interest
  • Collect ordinal or nominal categorical data, and discrete numerical data through observation or by conducting surveys

Choose and use appropriate tables and graphs

  • Tabulate collected data with and without the use of digital technologies such as spreadsheets
  • Recognise which types of data display are appropriate to represent data (Statistical reasoning)
  • Determine an appropriate scale (horizontal and vertical) to represent the data
  • Construct column graphs using a many-to-one scale, with and without the use of digital technologies
  • Draw an accurate timeline using an appropriate scale

Describe and interpret different datasets in context

  • Interpret line graphs using the scales on the axes
  • Describe and interpret data presented in tables, column graphs and line graphs
  • Determine the total number of data values represented in column graphs
