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 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 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 decide on the best sample of students for a given survey and answer a multiple choice question. They also answer a question on sample size for best accuracy.
Students answer questions about distance, speed and time, and identify an expression that describes the distance (kilometres) from the starting point in terms of time (minutes).
