Quantitative and Qualitative Types of Data

 

Students learn how to categorise, calculate with and represent different types of data.

As learning progresses, they are challenged to design data collection sheets depending on whether the data is primary or secondary sourced.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to distinguish between discrete and continuous data.
  • Most students should be able to distinguish between discrete, continuous, qualitative and quantitative data.
  • Some students should be able to design data collection sheets depending on the data type.
