Recognise and explore patterns in data and represent data as pictures, symbols and diagrams (ACTDIK002)

Elaborations

  • experimenting with different ways of representing patterns, for example using materials, sounds, movements or drawing
  • exploring with patterns of objects or symbols to represent data, for example the symbol 12 may represent different data to 21, or that an email address has a name followed by an @ symbol followed by another type of name
  • creating different patterns using the same elements, for example using patterns of coloured counters to communicate and give meaning such as a response of ‘yes’ or ‘no’
  • learning about how data are represented by changing pixel density (resolution) in a photograph with support and noting the change in file size to successfully email to a friend
