“What is assessed and reported shows what is really valued” (Hanscamp et al., 2019, p. 94). Lifelong learning goals are clearly identified on the assignment, with the opportunity to demonstrate learning against these goals.
Sampling Statistics
Students consider: Does the sample size matter? How do we know what the truth is?
- Students explore how different samples give different results using Australian census data and by conducting their own investigation.
- They make recommendations on how to find out the truth about a population from samples.
- They reflect on why humans are tempted to distort data and consider how to know what the truth is. Students are encouraged to discuss this with their family.
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
and desperately wicked.
Who really knows how bad it is?
But I, the Lord, search all hearts
and examine secret motives.
I give all people their due rewards,
according to what their actions deserve.”“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
Jeremiah 17:9-10, 7
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.”
