Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Collect, sort and compare data represented by objects and images in response to given investigative questions that relate to familiar situations.

What this means

Sort objects into categories.

  • Discuss and interpret simple one-to-one charts where one mark represents one item.
  • Collect simple statistics such as favourite fruit.

Tips

  • To create a chart you need the same size object or sticker. We recommend using post-it notes to keep the items consistently sized.
  • Help students evenly space the post-it notes.

Elements of Statistics:

  • (1) Gather – Ask a question
