We will discuss the following outcomes during this unit:6SP1 Create, label and interpret line graphs to draw conclusions.
6SP2 Select, justify and use appropriate methods of collecting data, including:• questionnaires• experiments• databases• electronic media.
6SP3 Graph collected data, and analyze the graph to solve problems.
6SS8 Identify and plot points in the first quadrant of a Cartesian plane, using whole number ordered pairs.
6PR2 Represent and describe patterns and relationships, using graphs and tables.

Carmen's QuestionnaireCarmen designed and handed out 100 questionnaires to students in her school. She asked this question:
What do you want to be?- Doctor/Dentist - Teacher - Lawyer- Sports manager - Coach
50 questionnaires were returned. Here are the results:
Boys Girls
Doctor/Dentist 10 6
Teacher 2 11
Lawyer 13 7
Sports Manager 5 1
Carmen reached the conclusion that most students will become doctors or dentists. Do you agree with her conclusion? Explain.
Describe what she might have done to improve:• The wording of her question: • The method of gathering data: • The sample she chose to survey:

Assignment 1: Creating a Questionnaire ﴾partner activity﴿
1. You will be assigned to a grade for which you must complete a survey/questionnaire. Brainstorm different topics for which you would like to create a survey or questionnaire. Record your brainstorm on a piece of paper ﴾to be submitted with your assignment﴿.
2. Select one topic on which you will gather information. Your group will create the survey questions or questionnaire, carry out the survey, and record the results ﴾to be submitted with your assignment﴿.
3. Your group will present your collected data to the class using a bar graph ﴾to be submitted with your assignment﴿. You are required to create three questions to ask the class which can be answered from your results.

DatabasesWhat is a Database?• An organized set of a large amount of information, often stored on a computer (e.g., There are databases that show yearly high and low temperatures and precipitation for major cities, and databases that show Olympic medial won by every country). • The type of database you choose to explore depends on the type of question you want answered. (E.g., NHL, music data, Stats Canada) • You could use a database to look for information from the past, or to look for information that covers a particular period of time.
What kinds of information would be contained within these databases?
Enrolments in schools, Canada, provinces and territories
Undergraduate tuition fees for full time Canadian students

12
ExperimentsWhat is an Experiment?• A situation or test that you set up so you can observe the results. • We can use experiments to gather information. • Sample questions you can ask after conducting an experiment:- What do you notice about the results? - Is there another method you could use to answer the same question?- Why was this experiment a good method to find out the answer to your question?- Why would you not use another method of collecting your data?
Try this experiment: Working in pairs, roll a die 50 times. Record how many times each number occurs in a tally chart. Draw conclusions from this experiment.

Which data collection method (questionnaires, experiments, or databases) would be most appropriate for each question?
• How many books did each student in a Grade 4 class read over the summer?• What is the relationship between the ‘drop height‛ and the ‘bounce height‛ of a ball?• How much has the moose population in Newfoundland and Labrador increased over the past 25 years?• How many times would TAILS show up if you flipped a coin 50 times? • Which NHL hockey player holds the record for most goals in one season? • Which type of music is most preferred in your grade? • Which subject area is least preferred in your class?

• The order in which you write x and ycoordinates in an ordered pair is very important. • The xcoordinate always comes first, followed by the ycoordinate. • As you can see in the coordinate grid above, the ordered pairs (3,4) and (4,3) refer to two different points!

The location of (2,5) is shown on the coordinate grid below. The xcoordinate is 2. The ycoordinate is 5. To locate (2,5):First step: Move 2 units to the right on the xaxisSecond step: Move 5 units up on the yaxis.

17
Practice plotting coordinates1. Copy this grid onto squared paper. 2. Label the xaxis, yaxis, and origin. 3. Write the coordinates of points P and Q next to the letters.4. Plot the point R, with coordinates (4, 7).5. Plot the point S, with the coordinates (6, 9).6. Plot the point T, with the coordinates (10, 3).

Find the message (worksheet)
* Also, try some additional activities to draw shapes and pictures using coordinates (ordered pairs).

Battleship How to Play:Each student gets a blank grid and draws 4 different battleships anywhere on the grid. Each battleship should cover 3, 4, 5 or 6 coordinates (one battleship for each number of coordinates). Students work in pairs and take turns calling ordered pairs to try to locate their partner‛s battleships. As the ordered pairs are called, each player will indicate HIT, MISS or SUNK. The first student to sink all of their opponent‛s battleships wins.

* Use a coordinate grid with axes labelled from 0 to 10. * Plot each pair of points on the grid, join the points with a line
segment and find the length of each line segment. ﴾a﴿ ﴾4,2﴿ and ﴾7,2﴿ ﴾b﴿ ﴾5,7﴿ and ﴾10,7﴿
* Work with a partner to share pairs of points and find the distance between them.

22
Line GraphA line graph is used when there is a numeric value associated with equally spaced points along a continuous number scale. Points are plotted and a line is drawn to connect the points. Every point on the line should have a value.
Line graphs are used to show trends in data, usually over time. The points are plotted to show relationships between two variables (one is usually time) and the points are joined with a line to make it easier to see trends.
Like bar graph, line graphs have a title, they are labeled and they use a clear scale.

23
When to Use a Line graph
* Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time.
* When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs.
* Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.

To ‘infer’ is to reach a conclusion by reasoning. 1. What can you ‘infer’ from the following graph? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
2. Write three questions that can be answered from this graph.
3. Trade questions with a classmate. Answer your classmate’s questions.
