DATA RELATIONSHIPS
General Outcome: Collect, display and analyze data to solve problems.
Authorized Resource
Interview
• Give students samples of second-hand data and ask them to generate
questions. Ask them to discuss whether their questions are precise, 
direct, and can be clearly understood and answered.
(5SP1.4)
Pencil and Paper
• Give students second-hand data (e.g., a local newspaper clipping) and 
ask them to generate pertinent questions on the data.
(5SP1.4 )
Performance 
• Use Statistics Canada and/or other sources to provide several 
examples of data. Remove related titles, information, and questions. 
Using the data which has been stripped of descriptors, students 
could work in pairs to generate and record questions that could be 
answered using this data. They might speculate as to what is being 
represented by the graph. Gather all questions and sources of data.
Student pairs could match the questions of the other groups with the 
data samples.
(5SP1.4)
• Ask students to collect examples of second-hand data that they 
encounter in print or multimedia sources and note, print, or clip it 
to bring to school. Ask shoulder partners to share what they have 
found and choose one example to highlight in a class discussion or 
display.
