Vocabulary Quiz - Statistics

This engaging vocabulary quiz, tailored for Year 6 students, aims to test their understanding of statistical terms. The quiz begins with a question about pie charts, which are explained as graphs that illustrate how different types of data fit into a whole. Next, the quiz probes the concept of the mean, which is the total of a set of numbers divided by the quantity of numbers in the set. Students are then asked to identify a frequency table, which is a table that lists items and shows how often they occur.

Further questions explore various data representation methods, such as the Carroll Diagram, which sorts objects, numbers, and shapes by their traits in a table. Students must also recognize the term 'axis' as a number line on a graph or coordinate chart. The quiz continues with discrete data, defined as information that can only take on certain values. Additionally, they learn about a bar line chart, which displays information using lines of different heights. The concept of a tally chart, a method of recording and counting frequencies, is also reviewed. The quiz includes a question about line graphs, which are used to represent information that changes over time by joining plotted points to create a straight line. Lastly, students are asked to define 'interpret', which in the context of data, means to understand and make sense of it.
