Session 3: Data talks - Elena

Maths Talk

Collaborative Maths discussions:

Mathematical understanding, Critical thinking, problem solving, engaging, diverse perspectives. Zone of proximal development.

Learn from each other.

Refresh maths talks

Critical thinking and reasoning is key.

The purpose is to lay a foundation for the understanding of data, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and an awareness of how data is a part of our daily lives.

Jo Bolar - You cubed - video

It is our moral imperative to prepare our students to make sense of data.

Seperate fact from fiction.

What are you curious about?

Have a conversation with the kids.

This kind of slide would invoke risk free conversation.

Think, reason, explain.

Link to our group ideas.

Session 4 - Donna Yates

Vocab

A good video

PPDAC cycle

There is no actual start point.

You can start at any stage.

You might start with some results.

Phase 1

In the last one - kids actuall bought their own toy in from home and they were used on the graph.

Variability

New term in curriculum

Variability will occur in all data set.

They will start to compare variability before they start to measure.

A good Guide for Stats

Really good resource.

Share with staff

Session 5: Statistical Investigation - Georgie

Again Vocab - Very important

Use from Year 1 on.

Can start anywhere

Lots of different ways to display data.

It is good to use multiple representations of the data.

But be aware of what is needed at each phase.

Video is good

A good website

Gap finder - Statistics around the world

What do you get in a bag of skittles?

Good site

Session 6: Lies, Lies and Statistics - Elena

Critical thinking!!!!

Slow reveal Graph

Very cool way to explore a graph.

Each slide adds a bit more of data.

Companies can use small differences look huge by using different displays.

Session 7: Census at School - Donna

Really good website.

Can be used for gathering data.

Primary Teacher guide - about the site.

Slide Link about the site.

Census at school Website

Schools can add their own information to this site.

You can see your data get added.

Data cards look great!!!!

Multi-details.

Practise using 'I notice' statements.

Definitely share this site and these data cards with others at school.

Session 8: Take a Chance - Probability - Donna

Lots of fun hands on activities/ investigations that can be done in this strand.

My Summary:

It is so important especially in this day and age that tamariki can read, discuss and interpret data. Reflect on the way it is displayed. Look for any bias in the way the information is shared.

Important to use the vocab. This can easily be done throughout the day and year - not just wait for when we are teaching the Stats strand.
