Summary of Unit
Students will learn to collect and interpret data and make statistical conclusions on what they have
discovered. They will learn a variety of techniques to use to help better understand and represent the data
as well as generalize what the data shows. They will be able to identify different types of data and select
methods and diagrams that will be most appropriate for the situation including the use of histograms and
cumulative frequency diagrams. They will also look for relationships between sets of data and be able to
comment on any correlation and make predictions using scatter diagrams and lines of best fit.

and skills. This is to inform planning and feedback will not be shared at an

areas such as poverty, sport, environment, history etc
Students will be given a formal unit assessment that incorporates application
of the skills learned. Performance in this will be used in conjunction with
