DWD01 Dealing with Data in Years 7 to 10 - Online Course Course rating:

Course Description
Share On Facebook
Presenter: Stuart Palmer

This is an ONLINE course. Are you and your students totally bored with the traditional text-book approach to Data Analysis? This fully integrated unit of work is a fresh approach to statistics incorporating the use of real data and the power of technology to breathe new life into this (commonly) dry topic. The approach underpinning Dealing With Data, unlike a traditional approach, enables both teacher and students to model the work that statisticians do: - Collect data. - Use the appropriate statistical tools to display and analyse the data set. - Describe the data. Features of the unit are: - A comprehensive student booklet in which students make notes and display their findings. - A collection of electronic files which promote deep conceptual understanding. - Powerpoints which promote higher-order thinking. - Some quality literacy-based activities. The files are ready for you to use with your students while the course runs. Accredited PD Hours=5

I really enjoyed teh course and have already used some of the course notes in my teaching. I have recommended the course to the rest of my department
Course was very useful especially in terms of the resources provided. It is of the highest quality and has inspired me to improve my teaching of data and statistics.
The course provided some great ideas and useful tools that can be used in the classroom. It also made me evaluate the way I present the topic data.
Very worthwhile doing, some great ideas and very useful resources
An excellent presentation of how to teach statistics and make it relevant and more interesting for the students. I particularly liked the integration of technology (good websites and use of excel) and the active participation of the students making a histogram. I would highly recommend this course.
