Strong fit
Phase 3 Statistics practices include choosing and constructing an
appropriate data visualisation for a given set of data according to the data type.
How this handout aligns
The core of the worksheet is not drawing a graph from scratch. It is deciding which graph is most
appropriate and defending that choice. That is a direct fit for the practice of selecting the
right display.

Appropriate display
Data type
This is the strongest alignment row for the resource.
Strong fit
Phase 3 Statistics knowledge includes that categorical data can be
visualised with bar graphs and dot plots, while other forms such as time-series graphs suit change
over time.
How this handout aligns
The scenario set deliberately contrasts categories, changing values over time, and individual
numerical values so students must match the structure of the data to the display.

Categorical data
Time-series
Especially useful when students are beginning to distinguish graph families
rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Phase 2 bridge
Phase 2 Statistics asks students to interpret a visualisation by naming
its variables, context, and key features.
How to use this as a bridge
For younger students, the same page can be used more lightly: focus on recognising what each
display is trying to show and why the wrong display could make the pattern harder to see.
