Statistics - Our current maths topic is statistics. We are taking part in the 2015 Census at School Survey. We have to measure various parts of our body and then answer a range of topical questions. We will submit our responses online and then later on we can use this nationwide data to carry out our own investigations.

Statistical investigation

WALT:

- Conduct investigations using the statistical inquiry cycle:

– gather, sort, and display multivariate categories and whole number data and simple time-series data to answer questions;

– identifying patterns and trends in context, within and between data sets;

– communicate findings, using data displays.
