Statistics > (1) Gather, (2) Display, (3) Communicate

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Acquire data for categorical and discrete numerical variables to address a question of interest or purpose using digital tools; represent data using many-to-one pictographs, column graphs and other displays or visualisations; interpret and discuss the information that has been created.

What this means

Collect categorical data (types or categories). Collect numerical data that can be counted (discrete). Display the data. Think and talk about the data.

Tips

  • At Year 4 students require explicit instruction about which type of graph is appropriate.
  • The graphs need to show
    many-to-one data such as a pictograph that shows one image to depict 5 people.
