What to Focus On
- Data means facts, numbers, measures, observations, or descriptions that give information.
- Some questions need data collection and some do not.
- Organising data helps in finding answers quickly.
- Tally marks help count data neatly.
- When five tally marks are completed, the fifth mark crosses the first four.
- Frequency is the count of a value or observation.
- A pictograph uses pictures or symbols to show data.
- A key or scale must be written clearly.
- One symbol can represent one or more units.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
