Statistical investigations [ S2.1 Core Plenary] Jot down at least three important points about conducting a statistical investigation Preamble A meaningful statistical investigation requires some time and for this reason at this point it is more meaningful to ask pupils to reflect on their previous work – this may be the first time the whole group has been given the opportunity to discuss their common experiences. Depending on the group, the discussion may need some direction if it is to be productive. It is conducive to paired working with outcomes forming a classroom display. Possible content Reflecting on the planning and execution of a statistical investigation. Resources None, but in some circumstances pupils may wish to display their results/thoughts to the whole group. Solution/Notes Pupils’ own findings and comments.
