acquire data for categorical and discrete numerical variables to address a question of interest or purpose, using digital tools; represent data using many-to-one pictographs, column graphs and other displays or visualisations; interpret and discuss the information that has been created (AC9M4ST01)

Elaborations
  • investigating many-to-one data displays using digital tools and graphical software, interpreting and discussing key features
  • understanding that data can be represented with one symbol representing more than one piece of data, and that it is important to read all information about a representation before making judgements
  • constructing graphs of data collected through observation during science experiments, recording, interpreting and discussing the results in terms of the scientific study
  • co-creating an online poll to survey students in their school about a topic of interest, exploring how online platforms use generative artificial intelligence to make word clouds, quizzes, polls and graphical representations of the collected data
  • acquiring samples of data using practical activities, observations or repeated chance experiments, recording data using tally charts, digital tables or spread sheets, graphing, discussing and comparing the results using a column graph
  • using secondary data of fire burns to construct data displays that assist First Nations Ranger Groups and other groups to care for Country/Place
General capabilities
  • Numeracy Numeracy
ScOT terms

Discrete data,  Categorical data,  Column graphs,  Data analysis,  Data collection,  Picture graphs,  Spreadsheets
