Maths Continue Data Handling
Misleading? – Look through the newspaper or a news website together and find articles displaying data or statistics of any sort. Consider or discuss together how accurate this data is, and whether or not it has been presented in such a way as to mislead or influence the reader. If a good example is found, ask your child to bring it into school for discussion.
Switch It! – Look online or in the newspapers to find information that has been presented as a table, pie chart, bar graph or line graph. Challenge your child to take the information and change it to a different form (e.g. from a pie chart into a table). How does this affect the way we think about the information? Bring an example into class to discuss with the teacher.
