This is a package of resources that focus on questions and issues associated with data collection, display and interpretation. Questions about how and where data are collected introduce students to ideas about samples and data variability. Using different data representations stimulates discussion about similarities, differences and appropriateness of graphical displays. The package includes online digital graphing resources and a range of printable student worksheets, graphs to interpret and graphing templates.
