1. An Introduction to Sampling
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To understand that sampling is necessary to make inferences about a population
- To be able to explain and use at least two different sampling techniques
Sample Success Criteria
- I can explain how a sample could be used to make inferences about a population
- I can use a recognised sampling technique to select a sample
- I can model and justify my thinking using a range of manipulatives
2. Podiums and the Pool
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To use different tools to represent information, to solve a problem or support an opinion
- To understand the concepts of ‘and’ and ‘or’ when used in the context of probability
Sample Success Criteria
- I can construct a two-way table and a Venn diagram to represent information
- I can use these graphical displays to help solve problems
- I can use a range of manipulatives to model and justify my solutions
- I can explain the meaning of 'and' and 'or' as used in probability
3. Olympic Attitudes
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To understand that different samples taken from the same population can provide different statistical measures, and lead to different inferences being made about the population
- To recognise that bias can influence the sampling process
Sample Success Criteria
- I can explain how the sampling process can be influenced by bias
- I can compare statistics drawn from different samples of the same population
- I can explain why statistics from different samples of the same population could show different information
- I can explain and justify my thinking using a range of manipulatives
4. Does Hosting Help?
EXPLORESuggested Learning Intentions
- To synthesise and analyse data from a variety of sources to make inferences
- To informally identify outliers and explain their impact
Sample Success Criteria
- I can use data that includes outliers to make inferences about a population
- I can identify outliers and explain their impact on a data set
- I can explain my thinking and solutions using a range of manipulatives
