Support students in making purposeful decisions about how to represent data by selecting and constructing the most effective display. This resource encourages students to think critically about the question being asked, then choose whether a tally table or column graph will best help them find the answer.
Students are given real-world style data sets and must organise, represent, and interpret the information to solve problems. They then justify their choice of display, helping to build deeper understanding of when and why different data representations are useful.
What's included:
Version 1: 2 worksheets (build the tally table or column graph from given data)
Version 2: 2 worksheets (choose and construct the most suitable data display)
Version 3: 2 worksheets (choose and construct with larger data sets for extension)
