Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do
Pupils should know that computer software will help them to draw a graph or chart.
They should be able to interpret a graph drawn for them and should be able to enter the data into a table on the computer.
| odd | even | |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 10 | 7 | 4 |
| 9 | 8 | |
| Greater than 10 | 17 | 18 |
| 13 |
Pupils should be able to generate and answer questions from a two-way table.
Probing questions
As for Step 1 but with the additional questions generated as a result of using a computer.
How can we draw a graph quickly? What software could we use to help us?
In your diagram or graph how many squares represent fifteen people?
How can we show these different categories?
Find me a number which is odd and greater than ten.
What if pupils find this a barrier?
Draw horizontal lines across the bar chart (or use the chart wizard in Excel to do this for you) or divide a pie chart into sections which represent one person, item, etc.
If a pictogram has pictures representing five (ten) items then use five (ten) counters stacked on each picture.
Divid a large piece of paper into four and use it with digit cards to comlete a two-way table/Carroll diagram.
