How to use this sheet
- Have the child read the labels of every row and column, or both axes, before any question.
- Ask what the data is about and who it was collected from before drawing a conclusion.
- For scatter plots, have the child describe the trend in words before drawing a line.
Common mistakes
- Using the wrong total for a relative frequency: the row total, the column total or the whole table.
- Thinking a sample tells the exact answer for everyone. It gives an estimate.
- Thinking a pattern in a scatter plot proves that one thing causes the other.
