Stage 3, mathematics, Year A – Unit 05
This unit introduces the big idea that questions can be asked and answered by interpreting data.
Students are provided with opportunities to:
- collect categorical and discrete numerical data by observation or survey
- represent and interpret data presented in tables, column graphs and line graphs, with and without the use of digital technologies
- recognise, represent and order numbers in the millions and decimals.
