Exploring Data Insights

A group of Year 6 students recorded the afternoon temperature in a coastal town in Aotearoa New Zealand. Use the data to investigate patterns and decide what the numbers can—and cannot—tell you.

Temperature over time

Temperatures were measured at 3 pm each day. The table is the source data for Questions 1–5.

Temperature (°C)

1.The students measured the same kind of value at the same time each day. What type of data is this, and why?

2.Which day was warmest, and what was the temperature?

3.Find the range of the temperatures. Show or explain how you worked it out.

4.Calculate the mean temperature for the five days.

5.A student says, “It got warmer every day.” Is that statement supported by the data? Use two days as evidence.

Check the evidence

The class also asked 20 students how they travelled to school. Their results were: walked 7, car 6, bus 4, bike 3.

6.Which travel method was most common? How many more students chose it than chose biking?

7.Do the travel counts add to the stated total of 20 students? Show your check.

8.A report says, “Most students travel by car.” Is this a fair summary? Explain using the data.

9.The class wants to find out how students across the whole town travel to school. Suggest one way to collect a more representative set of data than asking only this class.
