This lesson/project idea will develop a knowledge and
understanding of statistics, applying this knowledge in a real life
context. Young people will work in teams (as statisticians) with
the task of collecting, organising, interpreting and presenting a
set of data from a questionnaire involving health and
lifestyle.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g.
calculating the mean, median, mode and range. Constructing bar
graphs and stem & leaf diagrams
• Enterprising skills improved by developing
confidence, self awareness, positive attitude; increasing
motivation to learning; taking responsibility and making decisions;
consideration of others through group work and discussion; raising
achievement and fostering ambition
• Developed employability skills: Communication,
planning, organisation, time management, researching, co-operating,
contributing, analysing, reporting, presenting, marketing,
distributing etc
• Pupils take responsibility for their learning
through making decisions about what questions to include in the
questionnaire. What useful information to include in the
leaflet
• Learners have developed 4 capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Mathematics
• Relevance of how curriculum topic on statistics
is relevant to work and life (in particular, large
corporations) and how this subject knowledge is put
into practice in a real situation
