The perfect data activities for fast finishers or for your numeracy groups. These cards can be given to students to work through one at a time, or, have them turn it into a game by pulling one out at random and rolling a dice to select which question or activity they need to complete. Once they complete that activity, or the whole card, they can trade it in for another one.
This resource is part of a larger unit designed for Year 6 that helps students develop their understanding of the different types of statistical variables they are likely to encounter during statistical investigations at this level.
Interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape
Interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables
Construct, interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables
Pose and refine questions to collect categorical or numerical data by observation or survey
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions
Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another
Uses appropriate methods to collect data and constructs, interprets and evaluates data displays, including dot plots, line graphs and two-way tables
Constructs graphs using many-to-one scales
Interprets data displays, including timelines and line graphs
Let students use a dice to pick which activities they do off each card.
Students will need access to a computer or tablet so they can create tables and graphs using spreadsheet software.
