Data Detective: Choose a Data Display
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: choosing a table or picture graph for a simple data question
1
Look at the same fruit data in a table and graph.
2
Circle the display that makes most easiest to see.
3
Circle the display that shows exact counts in a list.
4
Use either display to answer: How many apples?
5
Explain which display helps compare two categories.
6
Collect four responses and choose a table or graph to show them.
- Show the same small data set in both forms so the comparison is fair.
- Accept either choice when the child gives a sensible reason tied to the question.
- Emphasize that both displays must show the same data.
