Blue for male, pink for female Collect in the post it notes. || Stations from ** making-measures-2011.doc ** [] instruction sheet ** [|WARM UP ACTIVITY.doc] ** tapes rulers blu tac post it notes string || Hand out curriculum AOs sheet. Explain what this is about. The grey is from NZMaths [|http://www.nzmaths.co.nz/key-mathematical-ideas?parent_nod] [|and] describes the big key ideas for each level (4-6). Then there is the achievement objectives for the level (4-6), followed by three blank columns. At times during the day I will give you time to fill these in. This is as much as anything to help you make decisions about activities while they are fresh in your mind. The first column is for deciding where an activity we have done might link to the curriculum (or an adaption of it to make it higher/lower). Other ideas that the activity generates. The last column is for where you might address this idea (year 9-11). || **statisticsinfotest.doc** [|statisticsinfotest.doc]

 * 9:00-9:20 || Exploring data collection and information

Working with participant’s data pick a variable to explore – graph using the post it notes. · Look for errors – what might be an error · What is the range of values we might expect for ..., what would be too big, too small?

Explore the year 10 dataset – hand out sets of cards need the **questions sheet** for 2009 · do the same variable as we did with their data – display using the cards · What do you notice? Any extreme values? Can they/do they need “cleaning”? · Why do you think they are wrong? Can we correct (impute a value). · Use iNZight to show the data. **year10foriNZight.xls** Reflect where these activities or variations would link to the curriculum. || ** making-measures-2011.doc ** measurement station set of cards

Posing questions · Using A3 paper and pens – pose some questions that could be asked of this data · Decide which are summary, comparison or relationship. · Collect in and pin up

Sorting questions · Using the posed question cards (** posed-investigative-questions.pdf **) sort the questions in any way you like · Collect reflections from the group about how they grouped the question · Look for good/bad aspects of question posing. · Aspects of a good question. · Reference to posing questions lesson plan

Get out students tests – look at firstly the questions they posed. Look at their comments on good/bad questions.

Back to their questions they have posed · any we would like to change · make the changes together modelling going from incomplete and/or incorrect to complete and correct. || []

Get them to use the data cards as they are all the students from Karekare College. · Hopefully someone will suggest that using all the cards will take a long time. · So what can be done instead? Hopefully someone will suggest that they just take some students to get a picture of the school. · Suggest that each group selects a handful students from Karekare College. This is called a sample. Why might a sample be a better idea than using the whole population? · Some reasons for sampling: practicable, takes less time. · How might we sample? · Can a sample tell us about the population? · Sample is good enough to look at the population. Can get general/overall ideas. Not specific. · We take a sample because it tells us about the population.

 * // Do the heights of Karekare College boys tend to be greater than the heights of Karekare College girls? //
 * // Do Karekare College students who walk to school tend to get there faster than Karekare College students who take the bus? //

<span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">In a previous session “students” have taken samples to answer these two questions, they have drawn dot plots and box plots. They have made descriptive statements and had inferential thoughts about each question. At the end of the session they have transferred the boxes (or signal) information about the two questions onto pre-prepared grids. || [] workshop 2 · Taking one set at a time make observations across the set of graphs. What do you notice? What is similar, what is different? · Look at shift, overlap, the medians, what do you notice? · Write descriptive statements about what you notice. · Encourage groups if they don’t automatically to sort the graphs. · Collate back ideas of what groups found on the board. Ask them about the decisions they made when sorting the graphs in each set. <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">Overall message: <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">__Situation 1__ (heights): in all samples the boxes overlap by a lot <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">Sometimes the boys box is to the right (higher) sometimes the girls box is to the right (higher) <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">Sometimes the boys median is higher, sometimes the girls median is higher, sometimes they are the same, the medians are all within the overlap of the two boxes <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">The message is inconsistent, the samples give different messages and I am not sure what might be happening back in the populations, I can’t say if boys tend to be taller than girls or if girls tend to be taller than boys. <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">__Situation 2__ (time to school): in all samples the bus box is further to the right than the walk box <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">Sometimes the boxes overlap, sometimes they do not, when they overlap it is only by a small amount <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">The bus median is always higher than the walk median and all but one of the graphs the bus median is outside the box of the walk. In the one situation where it is not, the bus median is equal to the walk median, but the walk median is below the bus box. In all cases at least one of the medians is outside the overlap of the two boxes. <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">The message is consistent, the samples are giving the same message, I am fairly confident that back in the populations the time it takes to get to school by bus will tend to be longer than the time it takes to walk to school. || <span style="font-family: Sylfaen; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; tab-stops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt; tabstops: center 234.0pt right 468.0pt;">Sets of height boxes, sets of time to school boxes.
