Teaching guide

What students learn

Choose a suitable display or visualisation for a type of data, justify the choice and interpret it in context.

How to teach it

Match the display to the data type (column, line, dot plot, box plot), justify the choice, and interpret what it shows in the given context.

Worked example

A data display shows: 11 (x3), 19 (x1), 14 (x5), 1 (x2), 8 (x3). How many data values are there in total?

Answer: 14

Why: 3 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 14

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Choosing a display that distorts the data, such as a line graph for separate categories.
