• I can say what a question, a response and a category are

• I can name the categories a question will produce before I ask it

• I can ask a question that has more than two categories

• I can recognise a question that will not give useful data, and say why

• I can say what the data will and will not be able to tell us

Success Criteria

Lesson 1: The Language of Statistics

We are learning the words we use to talk about data and what each one refers to.

• I can record one mark for each response as it is given

• I can use tally marks to keep track of a count while I am collecting

• I can keep my marks in the right category

• I can say the total for each category at the end

• I can recognise that a recording error changes what the data shows

Success Criteria

Lesson 2: Recording Data

We are learning to record responses accurately as they are collected.

• I can build a display with one space for each response

• I can start every category from the same baseline

• I can label each category on my display

• I can say which category had the most and which had the fewest

• I can say why a display that does not start from the same baseline is misleading

Success Criteria

Lesson 3: Displaying Data

We are learning to display collected data so that the categories can be compared.
