Differentiation

Modifications

• Provide simpler data sets and visual representations for younger students.
• Use sentence starters and guided discussion prompts to help students articulate their findings.
• Extend for older students by introducing comparative analysis of multiple data sets.

EXTENSIONS

• Assign students a data investigation project where they collect and interpret their own primary data.
• Have students create their own "Did You Know?" fact sheets using secondary data.
• Encourage fast finishers to analyse outliers and hypothesise their causes.
