Interpreting scatter graphs

Problem solving with graphical representations of data

In this unit, pupils explore different graphs and charts as a way of presenting data visually. Pupils are introduced to scatter graphs and learn how to construct them in this unit. In the future unit, this understanding is extended to using a line of best fit to allow interpolation

In this unit, pupils interpreted and constructed pie charts based on their understanding of fractions and proportion

In this unit pupils will interpret and construct a range of representations of data including bar charts, pie charts and scatter graphs.

Graphical representations of data

The {{ }} is the number of times an event occurs; or the number of individuals (people, animals etc.) with some specific property. 

Put the stages of a data investigation in order.

Which pictogram matches this frequency table?

The most time spent reading was in month 1.

The least amount of time spent reading was in month 3.

In month 1 half as much time was spent reading as in month 3.

In month 3 twice as much time was spent reading as in month 2.

Over the three months there was 70 hours of reading.

This bar chart shows that {{ }} has visited the most countries out of the four pupils.

What is $${{{1}\over{2}} \text{ of 6}}$$?

How many times is the word 'star' in this list? $$\text{moon, star, moon, star, star,}$$$$\text{planet, planet, moon, star,}$$$$\text{planet, asteroid, star, asteroid,}$$$$\text{planet, moon, star}$$

How many giraffes are represented in this frequency table?
