Students construct a back-to-back stem-and-leaf graph of softball throwing distances from two sets of data.

Students read information and make statements about the information from two bar graphs.

Students complete and total a tally chart of food left from Tiare's party.

Students throw two dice, add the numbers together, construct a tally chart of results, and compare theoretical with observed outcome.

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain their results.

Students throw three coins, and answer questions on frequency, probability, and compare theoretical with observed outcomes.

Students construct a spinner and use it to investigate predictions of the probability of outcomes. Findings are recorded in a student designed table.

Students predict how a cube will travel when flicked in different positions, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

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.

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 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 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.
