Following the 听in the听United States, the American Statistical Association (ASA) has provided teachers with peer reviewed lesson plans for teaching 听Probability and Statistics at all levels.

The STatistics Education Web,听,听website lists the appropriate year level (beginning with K-Kindergarten age through to Year 12), and the content focus of lessons.

Resources that could be useful for teaching Statistical Literacy (AS 2.11 & 3.12) include:

听and听听听These resources could support student learning identified by the : “Candidates needed to take more care with presenting any confidence intervals used as part of their answer, and should use appropriate notation and the percentage symbol, for example (55.8%, 62.2%). Candidates also needed to explain what the confidence interval means and its implication back to the target population (the inference).”

These two resources could support student learning identified by the : “Understanding of sampling variability was not well demonstrated by candidates, with candidates commenting on the variability within a sample, rather than the variability of sample estimate(s). At this level, by quantifying the margin of error using the 1/root(n) rule of thumb, candidates should focus on the size of the sample and its effect on the expected variation of sample estimates.

听and听 听–听听These resources may support student learning that the 听identified: “Candidates were not prepared to use knowledge from across the statistical investigations achievement objectives of the Statistics curriculum up to and including Level 7. For example, it was expected that candidates are familiar with a range of sampling methods. Many candidates confused cluster sampling with stratified sampling.”

 

The ASA runs an annual competition for teachers who wish to submit lesson plans, see听.

There are learning activities on each of the international Census at School websites. These ready-to-use activities designed by international teachers help students graph and analyze their own survey data and compare them with national and international results. You can adapt these international lesson plans for use with New Zealand Census at School data.

The lessons can be found at the following websites:
