Using the large data set to develop statistical thinking in A Level Maths

Session details

The new A level in Maths contains a compulsory Statistics element. This session looks at activities which will help teachers to confidently deliver the key concepts. These include: -

  • The large data set - activities for teaching and exploring this to reinforce statistical ideas
  • Addressing some of the big stats ideas (which have featured in S1 legacy spec)
  • Some of the new stats content which was not in S1 (legacy spec) but is in the new A-level specification
  • Some of the activities can also be transferred to KS4 if centres are teaching GCSE Statistics
  • The session is based in a computer room so be ready to do interactive work
