MA2-DATA-02 is an outcome from the NESA Mathematics K-10 Syllabus (2022), taught in NSW schools. Because Stage 2 spans Years 3 and 4, the worksheets below come from Year 3 and Year 4. Print them as PDFs, or generate a fresh one. Every maths answer key is computed in code, so it is never wrong.

Teaching guide

What students learn

Reads and interprets data presented in tables, dot plots and column graphs.

How to teach it

Read the title, labels and scale first, then answer 'how many', 'most/least' and 'how many more' by reading and comparing the values.

Worked example
How many chose Orange?
Answer: 11

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Misreading the scale (assuming each step is one) and ignoring the axis labels.
