Manage data C4.3 Find, integrate and analyze data; identify trends in data

Competency C: Understand and Use Numbers Task Group C4: Manage dataLevel: 3At this level, learners: Find, integrate, and analyze data; identify trends in dataPerformance DescriptorsThe learner:Calculates using numbers expressed as whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, and integersManages unfamiliar elements (e.g. context, content) to complete tasksMakes estimates involving many factors where precision is requiredBegins to recognize bias in data and in displays, such as graphsCalculates and interprets summary measures (e.g. mean, median, mode)Calculates percent changeApplies statistics (e.g. population change, growth rates)Chooses and performs required operations; makes inferences to identify required operationsSelects appropriate steps to solutions from among optionsInterprets, represents, and converts values using whole numbers, decimals, percentages, ratios, and fractionsIdentifies a variety of ways to complete tasksFinds, integrates, and analyses dataOrganizes and represents numerical information (e.g. tables, graphs)Makes predictions using data; identifies trendsUses strategies to check accuracy (e.g. estimating, using a calculator, repeating a calculation, using the reverse operation) Task DescriptorsScope of task may not be clearly definedMay include unfamiliar elements (e.g. context, content)May require two or more operations; operations must be inferredRequires multiple steps to completeHas many options to complete; does not have a set procedureMay require calculating ratesMay involve documents (e.g. tables, graphs)May require converting between whole numbers, decimals, percentages, ratios, and fractions ESKARGO:Embedded Skills, Knowledge and Attitudes Reference Guide for Ontario – C4.3
