1. 1 st February 2013 Objective: To be able to create Frequency Polygons (grade C/D) Skills: Noticing, Making Links and Absorption By the end of the lesson: All: can identify the midpoint of grouped data Most: Plot a frequency polygon Some: Identify the modal class

2. Starter What is the midpoint between the following numbers? Green 1)0 – 10 2)40 – 50 3)30 – 40 4)0 – 100 5)0 – 50 Red 1)54 – 56 2) 5 – 9 3) 8 – 14 4) 38 – 52 5) 0 – 5

3. What is the midpoint between the following numbers? Green 1)5 2)45 3)35 4)50 5)25 Red 1)55 2) 7 3)11 4)45 5)2.5 Answers

4. Grouped Data Which day does your birthday fall in DayFrequency 1 st – 10 th 11 th – 20 th 21 st – 31 st

5. Greater than, Less than symbols In maths, we represent a numerical group using specific symbols x < 4 means x > 10 means

6. Using symbols to represent a group How much money do you spend a month on your phone? a) Up to £5 b) £5 or more and less than £10 c) £10 or more and less than £15 d) £15 or more and less than £20 We can use maths symbols to represent this !!! 0 M < 5 5 M < 10 10 M < 15 15 M < 20
