How Old?

Using the data from CensusAtSchool 2006/2007, this data analysis resource looks at trends in life expectancy in populations. Students consider both the primary data collected from CensusAtSchool and secondary data about life expectancy and major causes of death. A plenary asks students to consider what they have learnt about age and how to use data presented in graphs and charts. Students develop skills in making comparisons, interpreting tables, interpreting charts and graphs, line graphs (time series), bar charts, box plots, cumulative frequency, presenting data and secondary data.
