Activity: ways in which to represent data [lo 2.6]

13. WAYS IN WHICH TO REPRESENT DATA

13.1 There are different ways in which data can be represented. Work through the following examples with a friend and make sure you understand each one.

COLUMN / BAR GRAPHS

PIE GRAPH

PICTOGRAM

LINE GRAPHS

13.2 CHALLENGE!

Work in groups of three. Page through your local newspaper and magazines. Cut out as many representations of data as possible. Group them and stick them neatly on cardboard. Hold an exhibition and discuss each group with the rest of the class.

  • Evaluate each presentation critically!

Assessment

Learning Outcome 2: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent patterns and relationships, as well as to solve problems using algebraic language and skills.

Assessment Standard 2.6: We know this when the learner describes a situation by interpreting a graph of the situation, or draws a graph from a description of a situation (e.g. height of a roller-coaster car over time; the speed of a racing car going around a track).
