Spreadsheets and Data Visualisation 2024 (Yrs 7-8)

$225.00$299.00

Help your students acquire, analyse and visualise a range of data. They learn spreadsheet skills such as formulas, relative and absolute referencing, data validation, conditional formatting and forecasting via guided tasks. Charts are created with trendlines that are extrapolated forwards to help plan for the future. There are then 18 spreadsheet tasks covering the topics of sport, personal finances, students, the environment, business, and staff and salaries. These tasks offer a wealth of practice in the targetted skills for students of all abilities. The activities can be completed in either Excel or Google Sheets, and we include numerous extension tasks for the more able.

The targeted curriculum outcomes were gathered from the new Australian Curriculum V9.0 as well as the new NSW Computing Technology course (2024). The relevant curriculum statements are listed below.

Files: Cover / Checklist / Wordlist / Introducing Spreadsheets / Basic Excel Skills / Google sheets / Sorting & Filtering / Formulas / Plots and Trendlines / Validating Data / Forecasting / Collaborating on Spreadsheets / Algorithms and the IF Function / Conditional Formatting / Skills 1 – Sports / Skills 2 – Personal Finances / Skills 3 – Students / Skills 4 – Environment / Skills 5 – Business / Skills 6 – Staff and Salaries

Curriculum Information

Australian Curriculum V9.0 (2024)
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       collaborating effectively online using cloud storage, for example setting up and managing a shared space in an online repository…
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       describing algorithms with nested control structures, including a nested if, for example IF it is raining THEN [IF parents are home THEN drive to school]; or an IF inside a loop, for example REPEAT [select the largest coin smaller than the remaining total, and subtract it] UNTIL the remainder is zero
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       determining and recording the tasks, responsibilities and timeframes for a collaborative project, for example using a spreadsheet to record tasks and their sequence, critical dates and who is responsible for each task so a project can be finished on time
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       making predictions about future population distribution of First Nations Australians based on identified trends, for example analysing and visualising data using spreadsheets and databases on their population growth in metropolitan areas
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       summarising data based on its attributes to identify trends and make predictions, for example sorting crime data by type of offence, showing that burglaries have decreased over time to predict fewer burglaries will happen next year
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       using a spreadsheet table to model objects and events, including choosing appropriate formats for each column, and filtering and sorting rows to answer questions
AC V9.0 (7-8): –       visualising multidimensional data by choosing appropriate graphs, for example a scatter plot of food prices and sales, coloured by each food’s sugar content, or diagrams such as a social network diagram and maps of crime rates by location to reveal trends, outliers or other information
AC V9.0 (7-8): ·       analyse and visualise data using a range of software, including spreadsheets and databases, to draw conclusions and make predictions by identifying trends (AC9TDI8P02)
AC V9.0 (7-8): Acquire, interpret and model with spreadsheets and represent data with integers and binary.
AC V9.0 (7-8): Model structured data in meaningful ways using spreadsheets and single-table databases, and analyse and visualise the data to extract meaning from it.
AC V9.0 (7-8): Recap 5-6: Develop confidence and competencies in using digital systems to create displays of data, such as visualisations, which assist in interpreting data sets.
AC V9.0 (7-8): Represent and communicate their algorithmic solutions using flowcharts and pseudocode.NSW DT(Tech Mand): · design algorithms that use a range of data types, branching and iteration and represent them diagrammatically and in English (ACTDIP029)
AC V9.0 (7-8): Select and use a range of digital tools efficiently and responsibly to create, locate and share content; and to plan, collaborate on and manage projects.
AC V9.0 (7-8): Validate the data they acquire to ensure it is accurate and consistent.
