Explore kids' lunchtime activities. Choose questions to ask in a survey. For example, look at whether kids prefer to play sport, go to the library or talk to friends. Examine a table of results. Sort the data and use it to answer questions. Display the results using a suitable type of graph such as a pie chart, bar graph or histogram. Identify conclusions supported by the evidence. Write a report based on the survey results. This learning object is one in a series of three objects.
Objective
1. Students identify that pie charts are most appropriate for displaying data when there are relatively few categories and those categories are mutually exclusive.
2. Students interpret data from graphs and tables.
