In this worksheet, students create a doughnut chart by hand. This may be the first and last time they do this, but it is a fun and effective way of illustrating how the data is related to the display.
This worksheet is a part of a larger unit on data displays for Year 4 designed to help students create, improve, and understand data displays.
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
Analyse the effectiveness of different displays or visualisations in illustrating and comparing data distributions, then discuss the shape of distributions and the variation in the data
Construct suitable data displays, with and without the use of digital technologies, from given or collected data. Include tables, column graphs and picture graphs where one picture can represent many data values
Evaluate the effectiveness of different displays in illustrating data features including variability
