Level 3-4 Data Handling - Getting Started
A suitable question for a survey to find out the favourite sport of 12-year-old boys would be 'Which sport do you like best?'.

Level 3-4 Data Handling - Getting Started

Guess what? Handling data is like having a superpower, and it's a big deal in KS3 Maths. We've got four cool quizzes all about data handling, and this one is your starter pack to the basics.

Imagine this: collecting, recording, and understanding data is like being a detective. These skills are mega important for jobs like advertising, politics, and science - super cool, right?

But what's data anyway? How do we grab it? Once we've got it, how do we make sense of it? What words do we use in data handling? And how do we know if info is good or just meh? Loads of questions, but no worries - this quiz has all the answers.

Psst! Here's a secret: after each question, a helpful comment pops up. It's like having a sidekick guide you. If you miss a question, the comment explains why the right answer is spot-on. Take your time, and good luck on your data adventure!
