Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Acquire data for categorical and discrete numerical variables to address a question of interest or purpose by observing, collecting and accessing data sets; record the data using appropriate methods including frequency tables and spreadsheets.

What this means

Collect data to answer questions about ‘types’ or categories and record in a table. The table could be on a spreadsheet.

  • Discrete numerical variables; means you can count it
    (i.e. ‘how many?’). This can then be tallied. The tally marks can be counted to work out the frequency.
  • Accessing data; use data collected by others. The reliability of the source (who collected the original data) needs to be considered.

Tip

  • It would make sense to combine 3ST01, 3ST02 and 3ST03.
