OUTCOMES: F3, F8, F9
1. Create TWO circle graphs using the information from the Statistics Canada website related to children's participation in activites.
(a) The FIRST graph should be based on the information found HERE which lists children's participation (aged 6 to 11) in physical activities, in hours per week, by sex, household population aged 6 to 11.
(b) The SECOND graph should be based on the information found HERE which lists children's participation (aged 12 to 17) in sedentary activities, in hours per week, by age group and sex.
2. Be sure to include a title and sector percentages. You can use the CIRCLE GRAPH PAPER found on the previous website, if you want.
3. Make THREE interpretations of each graph.
4. Compare the two circle graphs by making THREE comparison statements.
5. Click HERE to visit a Stats Can webpage displaying information related to the Top 10 Sports of Children (aged 5 to 14) in 1992 and 2005.
(a) Assume a population of 500,000. Approximately how many children preferred hockey in 1992? (show all calculations)
(b) Assuming the same population, what is the difference between the number of children who preferred soccer in 1992 and the number of children who preferred soccer in 2005? (show all calculations)
6. All work should be done on PAPER and submitted to Mrs. Fletcher.
YOUR TASK: 1. To learn how to create and interpret circle graphs so that you can investigate the relationship between physical and sedentary activities in Canadian children. 2. To learn how to create and interpret scatter plots so you can prove, or disprove, the Vitruvian theory using data compiled from Canadian students, LIKE YOU! :)
