Processing, representing and interpreting data
2. Pupils should be taught to:
- solve problems involving data
- interpret tables, lists and charts used in everyday life; construct and interpret frequency tables, including tables for grouped discrete data
- represent and interpret discrete data using graphs and diagrams, including pictograms, bar charts and line graphs, then interpret a wider range of graphs and diagrams, using ICT where appropriate
- know that mode is a measure of average and that range is a measure of spread, and to use both ideas to describe data sets
- recognise the difference between discrete and continuous data
- draw conclusions from statistics and graphs and recognise when information is presented in a misleading way; explore doubt and certainty and develop an understanding of probability through classroom situations; discuss events using a vocabulary that includes the words 'equally likely', 'fair', 'unfair', 'certain'.
