Task goals

  • Foundation: Construct a simple bar graph or pictograph from a given frequency table, including a title, labelled axes, and an even scale.
  • Proficient: Choose and construct an appropriate display (dot plot, stem-and-leaf plot, or pie chart) for a given categorical or discrete data set, justifying the choice of display type.
  • Excellence: Construct comparative displays (e.g. back-to-back stem-and-leaf plots or grouped histograms) for two data sets and justify why the chosen display best communicates the comparison.
