Certainly! Here's a single question that requires children to use various methods of recording data to fully analyse the situation. This exercise will help them understand how to apply different methods to the same set of data.

 

Example Question

**Question**:

 

A teacher asked her students about their favourite types of pets. The survey results were:

- 8 students like dogs the most.

- 5 students like cats the most.

- 3 students like birds the most.

- 4 students like hamsters the most.

1. Create a Tally Chart to record the number of students who prefer each type of pet.

2. Draw a Bar Graph to represent the data from the tally chart.

3. Make a Pictogram using pictures of pets to represent each student's choice.

Use 1 picture to represent 2 students.

4. Calculate the Percentage of students who prefer dogs.

5. Answer the following questions based on your charts and calculations:

   - Which pet is the most popular?

   - How many more students prefer dogs over birds?

 

Solution

1. Tally Chart

 

2. Bar Graph

Draw a bar graph with the following key features:

- X-axis: Type of Pet

- Y-axis: Number of Students

 

3. Pictogram

- Use a picture of a pet to represent 2 students.

Dogs: ???????????????????????????????? (8 students)

Cats: ???????????????????? (5 students)

Birds: ???????????? (3 students)

Hamsters: ???????????????? (4 students)

 

4. Calculate the Percentage of Students Who Prefer Dogs

- Total number of students = ( 8 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 20 )

- Percentage who prefer dogs:

5. Answer the Questions

- Which pet is the most popular?

            Dogs are the most popular pet (8 students).

- How many more students prefer dogs over birds?

            Difference = ( 8 - 3 = 5 ) students prefer dogs over birds.

 

 

Summary

In this question, students are asked to use different methods of recording data:

1. **Tally Chart**: For organizing and counting data.

2. **Bar Graph**: For visualizing the quantity of each type of pet.

3. **Pictogram**: For representing data with pictures.

4. **Percentage Calculation**: For finding the proportion of students who prefer dogs.

 

This integrated approach helps children understand how different methods of recording and analysing data can be used to provide a comprehensive view of the information collected.
