In this workshop participants get to engage in the PPDAC cycle as they explore teaching the statistics strand of the NZC. The workshop uses the data cards based on the 2025/2026 CensusAtSchool questionnaire. Links to previous data cards based on the 2023/2024 questionnaire are also given.

If planning to use the workshop in the future, it could be adapted to suit the current CensusAtSchool data cards.听 Check under the Data tab and find the Data Cards link.听听

This activity explores the following key ideas:听

• Working with secondary data
• Interrogating the dataset
• Making data visualisations to answer the investigative question
• Describing data visualisations
• Answering the investigative question

This activity explores the following key ideas:

• Engage in chance-based investigations with equally likely outcomes by:
  – posing an investigative question
  – anticipate and then identify possible outcomes for the investigative question
  – generating all possible ways to get each outcome (a theoretical approach), or undertaking a probability experiment and recording the occurrences of each outcome
  – creating data visualisations for possible outcomes
  – describe what these data visualisations show
  – finding probabilities as fractions
  – answering the investigative question
  – reflecting on anticipated outcomes听
• Agree or disagree with others鈥� conclusions about chance based investigations

Resources

• Y4 teaching notes
• Year 4 Probability
• Coins, enough for three coins for each group
• Large paper or whiteboard
• Whiteboard markers, pens
• Post it notes
• The Great Coin Toss Challenge听 MM1 – for listing outcomes for various numbers of coins
• The Great Coin Toss Challenge MM2 – table to record outcomes from a probability experiment for tossing two coins

These lessons are created for students grade 4-ish and above in partnership with Stanford Women鈥檚 Basketball. One of the goals of these lessons is to show students that data is everywhere 鈥� you don鈥檛 have to be an athlete to be involved in sports. Sports Data Analytics is a huge field. Teams have statisticians and coaches that analyze data to support recruiting, practice decisions, and strategies for players and ways to be ready for opposing teams. Even the players need to understand their and their opponents data. In this unit of lessons, students ask questions, explore, visualize and make decisions with data inside basketball.

Note: Any teacher can teach these lessons 鈥� you DO NOT have to know basketball. All the information needed is in the videos made by Stanford basketball players. Students will happily lead the discussions, and explain the rules to each other as needed.

There are three parts to this sports data analytics unit of work:

• In Part 1 students are introduced to basketball data through video made for them by Stanford women鈥檚 basketball team, through a data recording activity and through playing a version of the game at their tables.
• In Part 2 students are introduced to CODAP, a cool data visualization tool, to consider the height of players using dot plots, histograms and mean, median and mode.
• In Part 3 students conduct a data investigation with the goal of choosing their dream team! Students pick a five player team from all ACC & PAC-12 players from last year, justifying their choices using statistics and graphs. They will work in CODAP to choose, analyze and communicate data, and then defend their choice of players.

In partnership with Stanford Women鈥檚 Basketball, CBB Analytics, and the Sports Analytics Club Program.

Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium

A set of data cards for the 2024 New Zealand Olympic Team – 32 athletes who are competing at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium. The data was sourced from the .

Find out about individual athletes by typing their names in the search bar. You can filter by Games Type (Olympic Summer Games), and Sport to find the athletes in a sport or group of sports.听

See information about using data cards for ideas on what to do with the data cards. Other ideas include:

• Make a set of data cards for another sport or group of sports.
• Make a set of data cards for a
• Add variables to the existing set of data cards, e.g., the Olympian number, where they are based, did they compete in the Youth Olympics, what year was their Olympic debut

All the data that is in the data cards is also in the CODAP document listed in the resources.

In this activity, students explore what their peers like to do at lunch time. They are involved in all stages of the statistical enquiry cycle, from posing the investigative question, through planning for and collecting data, to analysis and answering the investigative question.听

This activity explores the following key ideas:

• Explore summary (and comparison) situations听
• Plan how to collect primary data
• Create and describe data visualisations for summary (and comparison) investigations, for example using a frequency table, bar graph, dot plot
• Answering investigative questions

In this activity students will investigate the ways they get to school and the time it takes to get there. They are involved in all stages of the statistical enquiry cycle, from posing the investigative question, through planning for and collecting data, to analysis and answering the investigative question.听

This activity explores the following key ideas:

• Explore summary and comparison situations with discrete numerical data
• Plan how to collect primary data
• Create and describe data visualisations for summary and comparison investigations, for example frequency table, bar graph
