Statistical investigations resources

Students complete a bar graph from information in a tally chart about the ages of students and interpret the data by answering questions.

This task requires students to answer questions about a bar graph showing hours of sunshine over a week.

Students complete a line graph to show the daily height of a lettuce plant, giving their graph a title and labelling both axes.

Students construct and label a strip graph from a table of data about favourite lunchtime foods.

Students complete a dot plot of animals seen at the zoo using data provided.

Each student designs a question and an associated scale to record other students' attitudes to mathematics.

This task requires students to answer questions about a time-series graph for two categories of data over an eight year period.

Students to interpret pie graphs by answering questions about percentages and numerical values.

Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant, collect data, and decide which data distinguishes them. This is a mathematics/science resource.

Students use raw data to construct a table and then a bar graph of the number of runs scored in softball games. Students are also required to make a statement about the results.

Students read a short piece of text and construct a tally chart for the number of letters in each word. With these results they draw and label a pie graph.

Students complete the total and mean columns in a table of sunshine hours. They then construct a bar graph and make a statement comparing some of the data.

Students explain the terms discrete and continuous data.

Students interpret a bar graph showing the number of different types of shell collected on a beach.

Students complete a chart showing the tally and total for different kinds of fruit.

Students are asked to construct and label a line graph of words typed per minute by two students for each day of the week. Data is provided in a frequency table.

Students construct and give a title for a bar graph of favourite food from data in a tally chart.

Students complete a pictograph for the number of marbles student have from data in a table. The pictograph has a key.

Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on the question to investigate, conduct the survey, complete the tally chart, and construct and label a bar graph.

Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on a question, categories, conduct the survey, tally and graph the results on a bar graph.

Students identify the appropriate type of graph for a statistical investigation about dice throws. They also justify the use of a histogram for an investigation about heights of people, indicating their understanding of discrete and continuous data.

Students interpret a line graph showing the water temperature in a school pool over a two week period.

Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant and decide which quantitative and/or qualitative data distinguishes them. They draw conclusions from the data. This is a mathematics/science resource.

Students interpret data presented in raw form to answer questions, calculate a percentage, and calculate a variety of data measures.
