Students use pictures to help them list the 24 different combinations of four children sitting in a row of desks.

This practical task requires students to record data, which is read out to them, on a back-to-back stem-and-leaf graph. The leaves are then ordered into a second graph and the graph interpreted.

Students present data on monthly school pie sales in a pictograph, and add a title, a key, and a label for the x-axis.

Students draw a graph from data about peaches picked in an orchard displayed in a frequency chart.

Students interpret bi-variate data on a bar graph to answer questions about social media and age of users.

Students complete and label a bar graph and a strip graph about eye colour from a table of information.

Students interpret information presented in a tree diagram to calculate the probability of various events.

Students study a table of test results percentages for a range of subjects. Students answer questions involving mean, median, mode and range. They also draw a stem-and-leaf graph.

Students interpret a back stem-and-leaf graph to answer questions about a measurement investigation.

Students are required to construct a composite bar graph based on Statistics New Zealand Time Use Survey data and are then required to make comparative statements based on gender.

Students complete three pie charts involving spending, using data in the form of proportions and amounts spent on certain activities.

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

Students show their understanding of stem-and-leaf graphs of ages by classifying questions as true or false.

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

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

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 match bar graphs to tally charts.

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

Students interpret information in a frequency table to answer probability.

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.
