This assessment resource includes two versions—a standard and a modified version—to support differentiated instruction and evaluation of students' understanding of data analysis. Both assessments focus on interpreting data sets, identifying trends, outliers and variations and making evidence-based recommendations. The modified version simplifies language and data sets to support diverse learning needs. This versatile resource is ideal for assessing students' ability to interpret and draw conclusions from real-world data.
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
Identify statistically informed arguments presented in traditional and digital media; discuss and critique methods, data representations and conclusions
Plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing and refining questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; analyse and interpret the data and communicate findings within the context of the investigation
Interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables
Interpret secondary data presented in digital media and elsewhere
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
Interpret secondary data presented in digital media and elsewhere
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
