Investigate, interpret and analyse graphs
from authentic data (ACMNA180)
Describe and interpret data displays using
median, mean and range (ACMSP172)
Creates and displays number patterns;
graphs and analyses linear relationships;

INTEGRATED TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT CONNECTI
WAYS
Students will identify points on the Cartesian Plane from
the data on heights of native plants
on the Cartesian Plane.
Students will draw graphs on the plotted points to help
them to interpret the data.
(Learning Maps: students learn by mapping out
processes using visuals and graphic maps and learn to
interpret these visuals)
Visualize in graphs the difference in height between
centimetres and metres.
Students will measure the dimensions of their body to
create a data table and plot the values on the Cartesian
Plane.
(Non-Verbal: students engage in hand-on activities of
measuring the dimensions of their body to graph them
on the Cartesian Plane)
Students will create a plan of action on their project
based learning of creating a school medicinal garden.
Aboriginal culture emphasized on the preparing and
planning criteria before a ceremony.
Students will immerse in preparing and planning the
resources needed to create the school medicinal garden.
(Land-Links: Students will be inspired by the medicinal
herb garden at the Grantham Heritage Park to recreate a
medicinal herb garden at their school)
Students will use the statistical data from the previous
lesson to inform them better towards planning their
project on planting the native garden and growing the
herbal medicinal plants. Practical implementations of the
task will engage the students towards their project
based learning.
 Students will create a project proposal to be presented
to the school principal on the cost, resources and time
involved to help create the school medicinal garden
where the statistical data will be used to justify their
claims to create the medicinal garden in the school
premises.
(Non-Linear: Students will explore strategies through
use of land, symbols and images, and non-verbal
actions, students will learn through this project to
understand what works for them and what they will put
into practice)
Site Details Site Description
Grantham Heritage Park Grantham Heritage Park was originally occupied by Aboriginal
71 Seven Hills Road South peoples of the Western Cumberland Plain who referred to
Seven Hills NSW 2147 themselves as the Darug nation. The three Mobs of the
Blacktown area included, Gomerigal (South Creek),
Wawarawarry (Eastern Creek) and Warmuli (Prospect). From
1917 to 1988, Grantham was a poultry farm and in 2004 was
purchased by Blacktown City Council and is now recognised as
a unique community resource. Over the years, Grantham
developed a Sustainability Education Centre, a community
garden which includes bush tucker and medicinal herbs and
an outdoor classroom with access to the garden as well as
providing sustainable living workshops and environmental
education. Grantham has also formed partnerships with TAFE
NSW and now offer horticulture and eco-living courses.
