Description

In this unit pupils explore the concept of measures of central tendancy, developing understanding of different types of average and their relative benefits and drawbacks. We then investigate other summaries of data such as the range and data comparison techniques.

Building on work pupils have undertaken on averages in key stage 2, and linking to the previous unit where we summarised data graphically, pupils now explore representing data numerically. Pupils focus on the concept of measures of central tendency and range. We also begin to look at correlation as a relationship between data.
