** This activity is for inclusion in your portfolio. Work neatly and consider the assessment grid before you start.
1. Find out at home what fraction of your parents’ income is spent on:
1.1 food:
1.2 housing:
1.3 electricity and water:
1.4 telephone:
1.5 motor car/s:
2. Draw a table and represent the above information as neatly as possible.
3. Now draw a pie chart to show this information:
4 = outstanding
CRITERIA | CODE | |||
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
Completeness | Hardly any of the instructions have been carried out. | Half of the instructions have been carried out | One instruction has not been carried out. | All instructions have been carried out. |
Table | This was not done at all. | It has been done but many errors occur and it is incomplete. | One or two errors occur. | It has been neatly and correctly done. |
Graph | This was not done at all. | It has been done but many errors occur and it is incomplete. | One or two errors occur. | It has been neatly and correctly done. |
Learning Outcome 5: The learner will be able to collect, summarise, display and critically analyse data in order to draw conclusions and make predictions, and to interpret and determine chance variation.
Assessment Standard 5.1: We know this when the learner poses simple questions about school and family environment, and identifies appropriate data sources in order to address human rights, social, political, cultural, environmental and economic issues in that environment;
Assessment Standard 5.2: We know this when the learner uses simple data collection sheets (requiring tallies) and simple questionnaires (with yes/no type responses) in order to collect data (alone and/or as a member of a group or team) to answer questions posed by the teacher, class and self;
Assessment Standard 5.4: We know this when the learner organises and records data, using tallies and tables;
Assessment Standard 5.6: We know this when the learner draws a variety of graphs by hand/technology to display and interpret data (grouped and ungrouped).
