APP Assessment criteria HANDLING DATA
Level 2
2.1
sort objects
and classify
them using
more than one
criterion
2.2 understand
vocabulary
relating to
handling data
2.3 collect and
sort data to
test a simple
hypothesis
2.4 record results
in simple lists,
tables,
pictograms
and block
graphs
2.5 communicate
their findings,
using the
simple lists,
tables,
pictograms
and block
graphs they
have recorded
Level 3
3.1 gather
information
3.2 construct
bar charts
and
pictograms,
where the
symbol
represents a
group of
units
3.3 use Venn and
Carroll
diagrams to
record their
sorting and
classifying
of
information
3.4 extract and
interpret
information
presented in
simple
tables, lists,
bar charts
and
pictograms
Level 4
4.1
collect and
record
discrete data
4.2 group data,
where
appropriate, in
equal class
intervals
4.3 continue to
use Venn and
Carroll
diagrams to
record their
sorting and
classifying of
information
4.4 construct and
interpret
frequency
diagrams and
simple line
graphs
4.5 understand
and use the
mode and
range to
describe sets
of data
Mathematics assessment guidelines HANDLING DATA: levels 2-8
Level 5
Level 6
5.1 ask questions, plan
how to answer them
and collect the data
required
6.1 design a survey or experiment
to capture the necessary
data from one or more
sources; design, trial and, if
necessary, refine data
collection sheets; construct
tables for large discrete and
continuous sets of raw data,
choosing suitable class
intervals; design and use twoway tables
5.2 in probability,
select methods
based on equally
likely outcomes and
experimental
evidence, as
appropriate
5.3 understand and use
the probability
scale from 0 to 1y
5.4 understand and use
the mean of
discrete data and
compare two simple
distributions, using
the range and one
of mode, median or
mean
5.5 understand that
different outcomes
may result from
repeating an
experiment
5.6 interpret graphs
and diagrams,
including pie charts,
and draw
conclusions
5.7 create and
interpret line
graphs where the
intermediate values
have meaning
6.2 select, construct and modify,
on paper and using ICT:
6.3 pie charts for categorical
data
6.4 bar charts and frequency
diagrams for discrete and
continuous data
6.5 simple time graphs for time
series
6.6 scatter graphs
6.7 and identify which are most
useful in the context of the
problem
6.8 find and record all possible
mutually exclusive outcomes
for single events and two
successive events in a
systematic way
6.9 know that the sum of
probabilities of all mutually
exclusive outcomes is 1 and
use this when solving
problems
6.10 communicate
interpretations and results
of a statistical survey using
selected tables, graphs and
diagrams in support
Level 7
7.1
suggest a problem to
explore using statistical
methods, frame questions
and raise conjectures;
identify possible sources
of bias and plan how to
minimise it
7.2 select, construct and
modify, on paper and using
ICT suitable graphical
representation to
progress an enquiry
including frequency
polygons and lines of best
fit on scatter graphs
7.3 estimate the mean, median
and range of a set of
grouped data and
determine the modal class,
selecting the statistic
most appropriate to the
line of enquiry
7.4 compare two or more
distributions and make
inferences, using the
shape of the distributions
and measures of average
and range
Level 8
8.1
estimate and find
the median,
quartiles and
interquartile
range for large
data sets,
including using a
cumulative
frequency diagram
8.2
compare two or
more distributions
and make
inferences, using
the shape of the
distributions and
measures of
average and
spread including
median and
quartiles
8.3
know when to add
or multiply two
probabilities
8.4
use tree diagrams
to calculate
probabilities of
combinations of
independent event
7.5 understand relative
frequency as an estimate
of probability and use this
to compare outcomes of
an experiment
7.6 examine critically the
results of a statistical
enquiry, and justify the
choice of statistical
representation in written
presentation
