Differentiation

Modifications

• Provide simpler, scaffolded questions for younger students.
• Allow digital graphing tools for students who prefer technology-based data visualisation.
• Offer additional support by modelling how to analyse different data set formats.

EXTENSIONS

• Students can collect their own primary data and compare it to the provided secondary data sets.
• Encourage students to represent data in different formats, such as bar graphs, pie charts and line graphs.
• Challenge fast finishers to identify patterns and outliers and hypothesise reasons behind them.
