Construct suitable data displays, with and without digital technologies, from given or collected data. Include tables, column graphs and picture graphs where one picture can represent many data values
Animolympics
Pose questions and collect categorical or numerical data by observation or survey
Animolympics
Construct displays, including column graphs, dot plots and tables, appropriate for data type, with and without the use of digital technologies
Animolympics
Interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables
Animolympics
Identify and investigate issues involving numerical data collected from primary and secondary sources
Animolympics
Calculate mean, median, mode and range for sets of data. Interpret these statistics in the context of data
Fact Finder, Flick a Fact
Explore the practicalities and implications of obtaining data through sampling using a variety of investigative processes
Animolympics

Chance
| Achievement Standards | Games |
|---|---|
| Conduct chance experiments, identify and describe possible outcomes and recognise variation in results | Animolympics |
| Describe probabilities using fractions, decimals and percentages | Animolympics, Highs and Lows, Ca$hed up, Algebingo, Inverse Bingo, |
| Compare observed frequencies across experiments with expected frequencies | Animolympics |
| Assign probabilities to the outcomes of events and determine probabilities for events | Animolympics |
| Describe events using language of ‘at least’, exclusive ‘or’ (A or B but not both), inclusive ‘or’ (A or B or both) and ‘and’ | Animolympics, Highs and Lows, Ca$hed up |
| List all outcomes for two-step chance experiments, both with and without replacement using tree diagrams or arrays. Assign probabilities to outcomes and determine probabilities for events | Animolympics, Ca$hed up, Highs and Lows |
| Calculate relative frequencies from given or collected data to estimate probabilities of events involving ‘and’ or ‘or’ | Animolympics, Ca$hed up, Highs and Lows |
| Describe the results of two and three-step chance experiments, both with and without replacements, assign probabilities to outcomes and determine probabilities of events. Investigate the concept of independence | Animolympics |
| Use the language of ‘if…then’, ‘given’, ‘of’, ‘knowing that’ to investigate conditional statements and identify common mistakes in interpreting such language | Animolympics, Ca$hed up, Highs and Lows, Guess the number, Bridge to 200, Speedy Shoppers, Flick 4 |
