Statistics resources

Students conduct a statistical investigation into the sentence length of different types of books by making and comparing dot plots.

Students complete a table to show all the combinations, and work out the probability, of numbers possible on the top faces of two dice. They then use the table to list combinations that total 8 and 11.

Students view a table of children's votes for their favourite All Black and answer questions interpreting the data.

Students select from the words 'impossible', 'possible', and 'certain' to describe the probability of events happening.

In this practical task, students collect data on the number of people in cars passing the school. They then record this, in a table and use the information to make a prediction.

Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.

Students answer questions about a stem-and-leaf graph which shows the ages of people gathered in a house one Christmas.

Students complete a frequency table about South Island populations and construct a composite bar graph with a key.

Students construct a dot plot of fish seen at an aquarium from a tally chart, and answer questions interpreting the results.

Students draw a scatterplot of a table of data and describe the relationship between the two variables.

In this practical task, students interpret information presented in a strip graph, regroup the data, construct a new strip graph, and answer questions about the data.

Students conduct a statistical investigation about their prediction of the most common words used in English. They make graphs, describe their shape, and compare their own graph with ones that other students produce.

This task sees what a students understanding of probability is.

Students explain who is most likely to win a game based on spinners, and how the game could be made fair.

Students choose the best type of graph for a selection of sets of data.

Students show their understanding of probability by identifying the shapes most and least likely to be drawn from a bag.

Students use the statements 'impossible', 'unlikely', 'likely', and 'certain' to describe events.

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

Students plan how to do a statistical investigation about a question that has been posed, and think about how they will collect their data.

Students answer questions about a bar graph which shows the number of different types of animals at the zoo.

This task requires students to read and interpret a pictograph which shows the number of planes landing each day at an airport. This pictograph has a key.

Students interpret a tally chart showing the number of times the phone rang each day for one week.

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.
