Step 1 Objective
Solve a given problem by organising and interpreting numerical data in simple lists, tables and graphs; for example:
- simple frequency tables;
- pictograms – symbol representing two units;
- bar charts – intervals labelled in ones and then twos;
- Venn and Carroll diagrams (one criterion).
- Examples of what pupils should
know and be able to do - Probing questions
- What if pupils find
this a barrier?
Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do
Pupils should be able to choose criteria to sort. They should be able to draw a pictogram and a bar chart to represent the data. The chart or diagram should be used to solve a problem, i.e. answer a question about the most or the least, who or where.
Given the statement 'With an ordinary dice, you are more likely to throw a one than any other number', pupils determine, collect and represent appropriate data.
