This worksheet guides students through a statistical investigation, from writing a good survey question to recording results, drawing a column graph and reporting what the data shows. The worksheet is split into warm-up questions, standard questions and then extension questions to test you.
The concepts it covers:
- A statistical investigation has steps: ask a question → collect data → record it → display it → explain what it shows.
- A good survey question is clear and gives choices, so the answers are easy to count.
- Tally marks are a quick way to record: every 5th mark crosses the group of 4.
- Data can also come from observations, experiments, or online sources such as weather records.
What your child will practise:
- Choosing good survey questions.
- Recording data in tally charts and spreadsheets.
- Drawing column graphs with a scale and labels.
- Interpreting survey results and online data.
- Writing sentences that report findings.
Every section opens with a worked example, and the download includes a full answer key with step-by-step solutions and teaching notes on the mistakes students most commonly make.
