collecting and deciding how to organise data to answer yes/no questions; for example, in relation to the question ‘Do more people in our class today have shoes with laces than without?’, explaining that lining up and matching shoes with and without laces one-to-one will answer the question

creating classroom charts and rosters using stickers to represent data; and comparing and interpreting the representations
investigating statistical contexts after reading a story; for example, after reading The Waterhole by Graeme Base, asking and responding to questions like ‘What different animals did you see?’, ‘How many different types of animals were there?’ or ‘Were there more tigers or kangaroos?’
