In this unit students develop a variety of mathematical skills including: * Data collection and organisation, using a questionnaire about grocery stores, brand names and cell-phones.* Graphical representation of the data collected using bar graphs and pie charts.* Understanding cumulative data, as well as developing and interpreting frequency tables. * Analysis of data to answer questions, using graphs and tables.* Reading and interpreting fi gures, in the context of a newspaper report concerning skills development. * Calculating the various measures of central tendency and percentages in the context of workers and wages.* Working with range and spread of data.* Identifying distortion and manipulation of information.* Identifying patterns and trends,  through working with scatterplots and broken line graphs.* Making simple predictions and comparisons.

This tool will draw 6 random numbers from 1 to as high as you like. The numbers are random and will be different every time. Makes a fun way to do probability exercises, extra credit questions where students have to guess the number(s) that will come up, and many other clever activities we're sure you'll think of. Have fun!
