  • Exercise 2: Using data

    • Activity 1: Interpreting data

    • Learners must be able to both present and interpret data in the form of tables. 

      It can be challenging without a visual representation, like a graph, for learners to notice patterns, similarities, and differences. 

      For this reason, it is useful to practise making interpretations of data in tables, such as that presented in Worksheet 4: Interpreting data.

      Ask learners to study the data and complete the questions

      Use Worksheet 4: Interpreting data answers to discuss the reasons for the findings as a class. 

      Extend the activity by asking learners to plot the data shown in the table as a bar chart.
