Data analysis of engagement patterns
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can interpret data and graphs relating to participation in sport and physical activity.
Key learning points
- Data is factual information gathered about the context being studied.
- Analysing participation trends helps identify who is physically active and what activities they engage in.
- Data can be presented as numbers or graphs.
Keywords
X axis - the horizontal axis on a bar or line graph
Y axis - the vertical axis on a bar or line graph
Pie chart - a circular graph divided into sectors, each representing a proportion of the whole
Bar chart - a chart or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values that they represent
Common misconception
Only one value can be shown on a graph.
Different values can be broken down into different categories, such as the age of people and their participation in different activities, which gives a more detailed picture of participants.
Teacher tip
This lesson has lots of opportunities for students to practice analysing data and drawing graphs. You may wish to provide extra graph paper or ask them to work from their books.
