Children
 ask one another questions about asking questions and make
statements about a picture graph using the language of
chance , for example:

What questions could we ask about this picture graph?

Which fruit is most popular?

Which fruit is the least popular?

Which column is the shortest?

Is the column of with the least popular fruit the shortest?

Which fruit is more popular than strawberries?

What fruit is it possible to find on this graph?

What fruit is it impossible to find on this graph?

Statistics (Data) and Probability (Chance) 4_Explicit Learning Plan
(Year 1) ACMSP263, NSW MA1 17SP
THIS IS THE FULL LEARNING PLAN, WITH DETAILS OF ACTIONS AND QUESTIONS THAT MAY BE USED TO DEVELOP DEEP UNDERSTANDING OVER MULTIPLE LESSONS.
Interpret picture graphs using the language of chance.
Resources: picture graph, pencil, paper
EXPLICIT LEARNING
Focuses
What could we do?
What language could we use to explain and ask questions?
Children think about, talk and listen to a friend about, then have the
children’s
thoughts on the opportunity to share what they already know
concept, exposing
current
understanding and
any
misconceptions.
Display some data displayed in a picture graph, for example,
