Room 8 Statistical Investigation
By Jane Hendry | Posted: Monday March 13, 2023
This term our maths programme has followed a statistical inquiry cycle. We have started with our problem, planned our investigation, collected data and then analysed our data in order to draw conclusions.
What has made this cycle so engaging is that our data has been us. We started off shooting a basketball in various spots without any intervention or feedback. Once we had collected our baseline data we then collaborated P.E and maths to see how coaching could influence the outcome of our investigation. This included specific feedback on technique, and what attributes help us to shoot the ball accurately. Once we had done this we then recollected our data and were impressed by our results.
One of the key skills we have focused on is our ability to use CODAP. An application that enables students to graph their data, and therefore anaylse and draw conclusions. Below we have attached some pictures of our mahi, including our graphs that demonstrate the shift due to improvement.
It has been an epic start to our year and really sparked passion and interest in our students.
