Grade 7 Mathematics

Data
Learning Activity

Students use circle graphs to represent data. They analyze data by examining graphs that may be misleading. Students will determine the differences between independent versus dependent events.

This Learning Activity is divided into three sections. Adults should guide children through it in the following order:

Minds On: Introduces the learning concepts to be explored in the Learning Activity.
Action: Offers a focused activity to explore the content and discover key concepts.
Consolidation: Provides students with an opportunity to deepen understanding and reflect on learning.

Data

Students learn how to use circle graphs to represent Data. They begin to develop a critical eye for analyzing Data by examining graphs that may be misleading. Students will also determine the differences between the probability of independent events versus dependent events. For example, how does the probability differ if two marbles are drawn from a bag with or without replacement.
