Statistical Analysis Vocabulary
Read, write, and use the vocabulary of statistical analysis — mean, median, mode, range, frequency, data, sample, average, chart, table, graph, pie chart, scatter graph, correlation — with understanding of what each term describes
Suggested ages 9–11
Learning journey
Your child is learning to work with data — reading timetables and graphs, and solving problems by interpreting the information presented in charts and line graphs.
Evidence of understanding
- Correctly define and calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a small data set
- Use 'outlier' correctly to identify a value that doesn't fit the pattern, and explain its effect on the mean
- Use 'correlation' correctly when describing the relationship shown in a scatter graph
Assessment prompt
If Statistical Analysis Vocabulary looked at a set of test scores from their class, could they find the mean, the median, and the range — and explain what each one tells you about how the class did?
