Introduction
There are a group of learners who have difficulty in understanding and handling data skills. More often than not, these learners usually have gaps in their general mathematics understanding that, in turn, can prevent them developing an understanding within handling data activities. This group of learners may have problems due to: - poor calculation skills; - lack of strategies or alternative approaches; - data not in a meaningful context for them; - not making connections with everyday examples; - lack of useful resources to aid understanding.
This booklet will identify the key points that this group of learners need to know about each type of graph or chart, and help you identify and use strategies and resources which will help them overcome common misconceptions.
The ability to collect information or data, present it appropriately and interpret its findings is an important aspect of everyday life. Surveys, graphs and charts are often used by the media to inform, persuade and at times, mislead the audience.
Providing learners with the knowledge of how this data is collected and the ways in which it can be represented will: - enhance the skills of the individual; and - develop the confidence needed to be able to ask questions of (interrogate)
the data so that interpretation is accurate.
The purpose of this guidance is to clarify the basic principles of data handling and to show, with examples, the elements of simple graphical representation.
Each type of graph or chart is discussed under the following headings: ? General Information and Definition ? Key Features ? Key Vocabulary ? Common Misconceptions/Errors ? Teaching Ideas/Activities ? Example ? Everyday Examples
