Some ideas to help students reach their statistics and statistical literacy learning goals:
Primary and Intermediate:
- :聽Bring the real world 聽into your classroom:聽Learning from people in industry to highlight when, where and why we need to learn this!
- :聽Technology for graphing and interpreting data.聽Have you checked out the聽?
- 聽 A lesson plan.
- (McPhee & Makar, 2014)聽Professional Reading for numeracy teachers.
Secondary:
- 听&补尘辫;听: Technology for secondary statistics teaching.
- :聽on careers in statistics.
- (Makar, K. & Rubin, A., 2009) Professional reading:
- :聽Lillian Grace was the plenary speaker at both Canterbury and Auckland Statistics Teachers day. The Figure site allows everyone聽be an explorer and user of data. If you or your students want data to answer a burning question this is the place to contact.
- Have all your classes been involved? Experiencing the census at all levels of the curriculum is important for students to demonstrate that they are “managing variation” and are involved in every aspect of data collection and creation.
- : What about 聽running a poster competition for Statistics week?! 聽Below are some examples from oversea’s, how can we improve on these?
- 聽live!聽Robyn Headifen has suggested following the cycling聽so much much great data!
What other ideas do you have?
How are you linking with your colleagues in other subjects? How do they approach statistical literacy and use statistics in scientific (both social and the physical sciences) investigations?
Do you have an Investing in Educational Success project to share or would like to begin? Also let us know of any cool Stats Apps you’re using with your students.
Finally, a big thanks to teachers who are using the share resources function on CAS.
