Statistics
Maths is Fun website is a great resource to understand definitions of mathematics terms with examples.
See the video for an introduction into Statistics.

Level 2 - Stage 5
Investigation
- Ask a question for data collection
- Create a survey to carry out a simple investigation
- Make a pictograph
- Create a bar graph
- Make a tally chart
- Talk about the graphs and make sensible comparisons
- Read graphs and answer questions about the data
- Ask questions about the data
- Analyse the raw data and generate questions
- Analyse different graphs
- Say the possible outcomes for an event
- Certain
- Likely
- Possible
- Unlikely
- Impossible
- Know that the more times you perform an event the closer you get to the predicted probability
- Say the possible outcomes for an event
- Find possibilities of simple events using equipment

- Analyse the raw data and generate questions
- Evaluate and choose the best graph for the situation
- Analyse different graphs
- Predict the likelihood of events using words/numbers
- Find the chances of a simple practical event by carrying out a trial and recording the results in a systematic way (tree diagram, table)
