]]> Ruth Kaniuk from Lynfield College was a Royal Society Fellow in 2013. She has produced many excellent resources for exploring probability concepts, allowing visualization through Tinker Plots.

The two tasks could be used together or separately.

]]> from Lynfield College was a Royal Society Fellow in 2013. She has produced many valuable resources that allow students to explore concepts about data through Tinker Plots data visualization and modeling technology.

The focus of the following 2 tasks:

  1. To observe variation of results when an experiment is repeated a small number of times
  2. To use simulation to estimate a probability
  3. To compare the probability situation when sampling with and without replacement (Eyes Have it 1 and 2)
  4. In Happy Feet the same probability situation as Eyes 2 is presented in a different context. [research suggests that students need this reinforcement]

The post Investigating bivariate measurement data using iNZight appeared first on ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥.

]]> This workshop focuses on key issues when teaching bivariate data and addresses some possible misconceptions. Teaching points are related to AS 3.9, especially to differences between AS 3.9 and the previous standard.  Regression analysis is conducted using iNZight.

The post Time Series Analysis using iNZight appeared first on ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥.

]]> This workshop gives details on how to use the time series module of iNZight, including necessary data protocols, and an example of a typical time series analysis using the Polar Ice data set (currently available on NZQA website) will be covered. A brief explanation of the Seasonal Lowess Model and the Holt-Winters Model, both of which are used by iNZight, will be given.

There will also be a discussion of why these models are an improvement over past techniques used. Details of resources that have been developed for time series analysis using iNZight will also be available.

Please note, this workshop was prepared in 2012 while the time series standard was still in draft form.   It has since been registered and may differ slightly to the content in this workshop.
