Data

• displays of data as a column or bar graph • construction of an appropriately labelled bar graph • understanding of the distinction between discrete and continuous scales • Recognise different types of data: non-numerical (categories), separate numbers (discrete), or points on an unbroken number line (continuous). • Use a column or bar graph to display the results of an experiment (for example, the frequencies of possible categories). • **Continuum links** [|Pictographs and Bar grphs] ||  **3.25** identification of mode and range for a set of data • design of questionnaires to obtain data from a sample of the population • sorting of data using technology • interpretation of pie charts and histograms • identification of the median for a set of data • Recognise and give consideration to different data types in forming questionnaires and sampling.

•[|Choosing Appropriate Graphical Displays: 3.75] || **4.5** construction of dot plots, and stem and leaf plots to represent data sets • display and interpretation of dot plots, and stem and leaf plots, including reference to mean, median and mode as measures of centre • Organise, tabulate and display discrete and continuous data (grouped and ungrouped) using technology for larger data sets. • Represent Univariate data in appropriate graphical forms including dot plots, stem and leaf plots, column graphs, bar charts and histograms. • Calculate summary statistics for measures of centre (mean, median, mode) and spread (range, and mean absolute difference), and make simple inferences based on this data. • **Continuum links** [|Dot Plots&Stem &Leaf Plots 4.5] || **5.25** representation of statistical data using technology • display of data as a box plot including calculation of quartiles and inter-quartile range and the identification of outliers • use of surveys as a means of obtaining information about a population, including awareness that sample results will not always provide a reasonable estimate of population parameters • **Continuum links** || || **Literacy Tasks**- Thinking tools, meaning with examples, Construct a glossary with key terms.(Research) || **Literacy Tasks**- Word splash, Written response, Verbal response, Reading task Mind map on Key words using MS Word (ICT) || **Literacy Tasks**- Summarise formulas or generalised concept in a table, Written response, Verbal response, Reading task || || [|Ways of gathering and presenting data] ||  ||
