Stage 1 Module 3

Starting Graphs

Initial Steps

Course Description

In this module, students begin to understand how to use ICT to classify information and present their findings in the form of simple charts or graphs. Students start to understand how they can use graphs and charts to answer questions or compare information.

  • Store and classify information
  • Present information in charts or graphs
  • Use charts or graphs to answer simple questions
  • Draw simple conclusions from charts or graphs

Students should be able to sort and classify properties of objects, e.g. sports played by classmates. They should be able to use ICT to create a tally chart or data table, or to enter the data into graph/chart software.

Students use the information they have entered to create two different but simple graphs or charts, e.g. pie and bar.

Students can answer specific simple questions from the graph/chart they have created, e.g. ‘Which sport was the least popular?’ or ‘How many girls play tennis?’.

In addition to the pass criteria, students, unprompted by a specific question, can make at least two sensible, but simple, general statements or observations about the data from the graphs they have drawn, e.g. ‘My charts show that basketball is the most popular sport’, or ‘More girls enjoy swimming than boys’.

At the end of this course, student will take the ICT Starters Assessment of Initial Steps Stage 1 Module 3 : Starting Graphs.
