(Victorian Essential Learning Standards)
 * Students use metric units to estimate and measure length, perimeter, area, surface area, mass, volume, capacity time and temperature.
 * They measure angles in degrees.
 * They measure as accurately as needed for the purpose of the activity.
 * They convert between metric units of length, capacity and time (for example, L–mL, sec–min).
 * Students describe and calculate probabilities using words, and fractions and decimals between 0 and 1.
 * They calculate probabilities for chance outcomes (for example, using spinners) and use the symmetry properties of equally likely outcomes.
 * They simulate chance events (for example, the chance that a family has three girls in a row) and understand that experimental estimates of probabilities converge to the theoretical probability in the long run.
 * Students recognise and give consideration to different data types in forming questionnaires and sampling.
 * They distinguish between categorical and numerical data and classify numerical data as discrete (from counting) or continuous (from measurement).
 * They present data in appropriate displays (for example, a pie chart for eye colour data and a histogram for grouped data of student heights).
 * They calculate and interpret measures of centrality (mean, median, and mode) and data spread (range).

Graph your data collection after 10 spins, 25 spins, 50 spins and 100 spins. Notice what happens to the data and the graphs. How did they look to begin with, how do they look at the end? media type="youtube" key="RTNUbzVVU4Q?rel=0" height="377" width="504"

=3. The Survey = 

Design two surveys to ask students in the school a question. Make one to collect discrete data and one to collect continuous data.
