Probability and Statistics - KS3 resources
MEI has adapted the following resources for use in the UK classroom. The Probability and Statistics set of resources contains three units. Each unit includes a series of lessons comprising a GeoGebra activity for use during the lesson and a GeoGebra activity suitable for independent student learning. Each lesson also comes with a lesson plan detailing the planning behind each question in the activities, together with the answers. Using GeoGebra Classroom, teachers are able to monitor and formatively assess their students’ work and progress in real time on any type of device. If you wish to view the resources in their original state, please visit Illustrative Mathematics (IM).
Probability and Statistics 1 - Data sets and distributions In this unit, students learn about populations and study variables associated with a population. They understand and use the terms “numerical/quantitative data,” “categorical/qualitative data,” “survey” (as noun and verb), “statistical question,” “variability,” “distribution,” and “frequency.” Probability and Statistics 2 - Probability and sampling In this unit, students understand and use the terms “event,” “sample space,” “outcome,” “chance experiment,” “probability,” “simulation,” “random,” “sample,” “random sample,” “representative sample,” “overrepresented,” “underrepresented,” “population,” and “proportion.” To learn more about how to use GeoGebra’s fully digital and interactive curriculum, visit our IM 6-8 page. Probability and Statistics 3 - Associations in data
In this unit, students generate and work with bivariate data sets that has more variability than in previous units. They learn to understand and use the terms “scatter plot” and “association,” and describe associations as “positive” or “negative” and “linear” or “non-linear.”
