AO1: Conduct investigations using the statistical enquiry cycle: posing and answering questions; gathering, sorting, and displaying category and whole-number data; communicating findings based on the data.

In this unit we conduct a number of investigations using a party theme. In the unit the students spend time counting, comparing, organising, analysing, displaying and interpreting data. While discussing the data we take the opportunity to use and reinforce early additive strategies for combining numbers.

In this unit students collect data about favourites and present them in a variety of ways, starting with tally charts, and building up to using Microsoft Excel to create bar charts.

In this unit students will identify how to plan and carry out a statistical investigation, looking at facts about their class as a context.

This unit introduces the students to a way of looking at information from a group of individuals, i.e. a data set. “Data Squares” are used to display information about individuals. By sorting and organising a set of data squares students can find out things or answer questions about the group. Several pieces of information about individuals are on each data squares, allowing different categories to be looked at simply by rearranging the squares. Session One – What is a data square? Completing a data square about themselves Session Two - Organising and displaying a set of data squares to find out things and answer questions about a group of twelve students Session Three - Organising and displaying the class data squares to find out things about the class and check if statements suggested are correct Session Four - Designing and collecting their own data squares Session Five - Organising and displaying their own data squares to find out things and answer question and check if statements suggested are correct
