Learning Continuum of Numeracy (Version 8.4)

This element involves students gaining familiarity with the way statistical information is represented.

Students solve problems in authentic contexts that involve collecting, recording, displaying, comparing and evaluating the effectiveness of data displays of various types. They use appropriate language and numerical representations when explaining the outcomes of chance events. In developing and acting with numeracy, students:

  • interpret data displays
  • interpret chance events.

Level 3

Typically by the end of Year 4, students:

Interpret data displays

collect record and display data as tables, diagrams, picture graphs and column graphs

Interpret chance events

describe possible outcomes from chance experiments using informal chance language and recognising variations in results
