Download Interpreting Data and Probability Mid Term SoL

Year 7 Autumn 2
2. Interpreting Data and Probability
Prior Knowledge: All students will have met bar charts at primary school, though are not always familiar with analysing these
in detail and in context. All students will also be familiar with the basic vocabulary of probability.

Learning Outcomes

-
TBAT read and get information from data shown in graphs
and diagrams, including pie charts
Discuss, in context, what a graph or diagram is showing
Analyse and draw conclusions from graphs in a real life
context
Outcomes for students:
Use diagrams such as pie charts, bar charts etc. to answer
questions e.g. Are there more 3 children or 1 child
families?
Explain what a graph or diagram is showing for example, that
around half the families had 2 children
Comment on the relationships displayed in graphs and charts
e.g. how many chairs should be put out for families at
consultation evening?

Probability
-
Know and use the language of probability appropriately
Assign probability values as a fraction to simple, mutually
exclusive events
Cancel these fractions down to their lowest terms
Outcomes for students:
Use the words impossible/possible/likely/even chance etc.
correctly
Be able to give probabilities for mutually exclusive events,
such as Guess Who
Write these as fractions
Find the simplest form of fractions such as 6/24 = ?
What all should know
 Extracting and interpreting data in
tables, graphs, charts and diagrams
(eg. line graphs, frequency tables and
What most should know
 Interpret diagrams and graphs
(including pie charts), and draw
conclusions based on the shape of
1
What some should know
bar charts).
 Use vocabulary and ideas of probability,
drawing on experience.
Reason mathematically
graphs and simple statistics for a
single distribution.
 Understand and use the probability
scale from 0 to 1
 Find and justify probabilities based on
equally likely outcomes in simple
contexts
 Identify all the possible mutually
exclusive outcomes of a single event.
Solve problems
 Know that if the probability of an event
occurring is p, then the probability of it
not occurring is 1 – p;
 Find and record all possible mutually
exclusive outcomes for two successive
events in a systematic way, using
diagrams and tables.
