Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Acquire data for categorical variables through surveys, observation, experiment and using digital tools; sort data into relevant categories and display data using lists and tables.
What this means
One categorical variable means that there is only one type of data collected;
e.g. favourite types of sport, or hair colour.
The child can ask family members / friends about their favourite meal, TV show, ice-cream, etc. and collect the data.
Tips
- Conduct a poll and collect data.
- This could be recorded in a table using tally marks.
- Activity: Transport Survey. “How do students come to school?”
- Where ‘frequency’ is used ‘total’ is also appropriate.
