Students identify potential data collection and analysis from available data sets ...
This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Possible outcomes. Students are introduced to more complex probability concepts, terminology and visual representations. These concepts may be challenging for students to comprehend and will need multiple examples incorporating relevant teaching strategies.
In this lesson, students conduct a statistical investigation, collecting and analysing data using percentages, and choosing efficient calculations and strategies. The investigation is communicated visually and verbally to the teacher and peers. Students reflect on feedback and consider revisions for the investigation.
In this lesson students are guided through solving a problem using mathematical modelling. Students are guided through the process of formulating a problem that can be solved using a mathematical modelling approach. A professional sporting context allows students to engage in a common basketball scoring move: shooting ...
This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Collect, sort and compare data. Students examine different techniques for collecting types of data and begin to consider the challenges of collecting representative data by sampling a population.
This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Statistical analysis. Students focus on understanding that random samples chosen from large populations can show quite different distributions and proportions when compared with each other. Students make connections when different sample sizes are or can be responsible ...
This planning resource for Year 8 is for the topic of Interpret and discuss data displays. Students collect data to create a sample. Students consider whether the data is coming from direct or primary sources or is derived from secondary data.
The dataset provides statistics about the estimated resident population, median age and sex ratio by countries of birth for the latest year of available data. It is periodically updated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The dataset is included in the list of related datasets on the page in MS Excel format.
