Curriculum content descriptions
collect, sort and compare data represented by objects and images in response to given investigative questions that relate to familiar situations (AC9MFST01)
Elaborations
- collecting, and sorting data collected through everyday activities or events; for example, sorting toys into categories, such as “toys that move” and “toys that don’t move”
- collecting and deciding how to organise data to answer “Yes/No” questions; for example, “Do more people in our class today have shoes with laces than without?”; explaining that lining up, and matching shoes with and without laces one-to-one will answer the question
- creating classroom charts and rosters using stickers to represent data; comparing and interpreting representations
- role-playing being a robot that sorts objects into groups based on a set of instructions; for example, imitating a robot designed to pack things away in the classroom or an industrial robot programmed to sort products on an assembly line by colour or shape
- role-playing, as a class, at training an artificial intelligence system to recognise objects, asking yes/no questions to gather data to make the best guess about the identification of a mystery object
- investigating statistical contexts after reading a story, such as "The Waterhole" by Graeme Base; asking and responding to questions like “What different animals did you see?”, “How many different types of animals were there?” or “Were there more tigers or kangaroos?”
- exploring what and how information from the environment is collected and used by First Nations Australians to predict weather events
