Using data cards

This activity leads on from the posing investigative questions activity.

Students will need to be familiar with the background information to the data set.  This may involve looking at the variables in the dataset, looking at how the data was collected and measured, looking at the survey question that was asked to get the data.

In this activity students will be exploring the given data cards in response to investigative questions they have posed.  In some instances students might organise the data cards and then pose their investigative question once they have found something of interest in their data cards (EDA- exploratory data analysis).

This activity will also allow students to develop the language of description for summary situations.
