collect, sort and compare data represented by objects and images in response to given investigative questions that have only 2 outcomes and relate to familiar situations

• using data displays to answer simple questions such as ‘How many students answered “yes” to having pets?’
• collecting and deciding how to organise data to answer yes/no questions; for example, in relation to the question ‘Do more people in our class today have shoes with laces than without?’, explaining that lining up and matching shoes with and without laces one-to-one will answer the question
• collecting data through everyday activities or events and sorting the collected data; for example, sorting toys into categories such as ‘toys that move’ and ‘toys that don’t move’
• creating classroom charts and rosters using stickers to represent data; and comparing and interpreting the representations
• investigating statistical contexts after reading a story; for example, after reading The Waterhole by Graeme Base, asking and responding to questions like ‘What different animals did you see?’, ‘How many different types of animals were there?’ or ‘Were there more tigers or kangaroos?’
• exploring what and how information from the environment is collected and used by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples to predict weather events
