Study Notes

Grade 7 Statistics Topics

Opening Prayer - A prayer is included.
Mental Computation - Grade 7 statistics includes mental computation.
Statistics: Organizing and Presenting Data through Graphs - The lesson focuses on organizing and presenting statistical data through graphs.
Learning Objectives - Students will learn to identify various graph types, construct graphs, and demonstrate enthusiasm in presenting data.
What is a Graph? - A graph is a visual representation of data showing variation in one or more variables. Graphs are pictorial representations of data that makes it easier for understanding and interpretation.
Types of Graphs - The different types of graphs mentioned are: Line, Bar, Pie, Histogram, and Ogive.
Line Graph - A line graph displays data that changes over time. It connects data points with lines.
Bar Graph - A bar graph uses rectangular bars to represent categorical data. Bars can be vertical or horizontal.
Pie Graph - A pie chart displays data as sectors (slices) of a circle. It represents relative sizes of data components.
Histogram - A histogram shows frequency distributions of variables in intervals. It is a type of bar graph.
Ogive Graph - An ogive is a cumulative frequency polygon. It's a graph displaying cumulative frequencies (like a running total), where values are plotted against class boundaries.
Cigarette Sales for 5 Days (Example) - This table shows daily cigarette sales. There is data for 5 days with daily figures.
Bar Graph (Details) - Bar graphs use bars to represent data; bars can be vertical or horizontal, and the height or length of the bar is proportional to the value it represents.
Pie Chart/Pie Graph (Details) - A pie chart is a circle divided into sectors (slices) and each sector shows a portion of the whole. Relative sizes of the data are shown through slices.
Examples and Exercises - Charts and examples are given with exercises showing how to calculate percentage, central angles. Data sets for creating cumulative frequency graphs, histograms, and related calculations are included.
Activity: Mental Math A & B (270 – 271) - A mental math activity is assigned.
Assignment: Written Math A (271 – #16 only) - Students have an assignment concerning written math.
Closing Prayer - The lesson ends with a closing prayer.
