What's the Big Idea? (Data Management)



BIG IDEA:  Graphs are powerful data displays, since visual displays quickly reveal information about the data.

The overall curriculum expectations for this unit are:
  • collect and organize discrete or continuous primary data and secondary data and display the data using charts and graphs, including continuous line graphs;
  • read, describe, and interpret data, and explain relationships between sets of data

Don't you wish this highlighted part was in English 😕

Discrete data is counted, like the number of students in the class.

Continuous data is measured, like the weight of children' s backpacks.

Primary data is collected by the researcher.

Secondary data is information gathered from analyzing results (like a census).
