​This webquest will assist with teaching students how to effectively represent data. 

​

The standards used in this WebQuest are taken from the Australian Curriculum of Digital Technologies years foundation to year two (ACARA, 2016). The strands used for this WebQuest are:

​​

Foundation to Year 2 / Digital Technologies Knowledge and Understanding / ACTDIK002

Content Description:

Recognise and explore patterns in data and represent data as pictures, symbols and diagrams

Elaborations:

· sorting objects and events based on easily identified characteristics and using digital systems to represent patterns in data, for example sorting birthdates and presenting the patterns using seasonal symbols – assessment piece

· making generalisations about data sets, for example comparing different ways of travelling to and from school using classroom data, discussing results and finding patterns in modes of travel

· experimenting with different ways of representing patterns, for example using materials, sounds, movements or drawing​

​

​

Foundation to Year 2 / Digital Technologies Processes and Production Skills / ACTDIP003

Content Description: Collect, explore and sort data, and use digital systems to present the data creatively

Elaborations: 

• exploring and creating graphs to represent classroom data, for example collecting data on the country of birth of each student and presenting the results as a picture graph

• exploring, imagining and comparing the usefulness of different data displays, for example jointly creating simple column graphs and picture graphs to represent different types of items

​

General capabilities: Numeracy, critical and creative thinking.
