Taught alongside it

The rest of Statistics in Year 4.

AC9M4ST02

analyse the effectiveness of different displays or visualisations in illustrating and comparing data distributions, then discuss the shape of distributions and the variation in the data

AC9M4ST03

conduct statistical investigations, collecting data through survey responses and other methods; record and display data using digital tools; interpret the data and communicate the results

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M4ST01 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 4.

  1. Year 3AC9M3ST01acquire data for categorical and discrete numerical variables to address a question of interest or purpose by observing, collecting and accessing data sets; record the data using appropriate methods including frequency tables and spreadsheets
  2. Year 3AC9M3ST02create and compare different graphical representations of data sets including using software where appropriate; interpret the data in terms of the context
  3. Year 3AC9M3ST03conduct guided statistical investigations involving the collection, representation and interpretation of data for categorical and discrete numerical variables with respect to questions of interest
  4. Year 5AC9M5ST01acquire, validate and represent data for nominal and ordinal categorical and discrete numerical variables, to address a question of interest or purpose using software including spreadsheets; discuss and report on data distributions in terms of highest frequency (mode) and shape, in the context of the data
  5. Year 5AC9M5ST02interpret line graphs representing change over time; discuss the relationships that are represented and conclusions that can be made
  6. Year 5AC9M5ST03plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; choose appropriate displays and interpret the data; communicate findings within the context of the investigation
