Key learning points
- Geographers use sketch maps, paper and digital maps, grid references, and geographical vocabulary to locate fieldwork.
- Data can be shared in many different ways, such as through maps, tables, diagrams, graphs and reports.
- Data can be examined to think about what it is showing: it’s helpful to think about how reliable the answers might be.
Common misconception
Not all data may fit the pattern they have identified.
These are called anomalies and can sometimes be explained away but individual anomalies would not disprove a pattern exists.
