Recording data in a game of Kolap: Part 1
In this first of two lessons, students investigate and play a First Nations Australian children’s instructive game of throwing skill called Kolap. They collect and represent data, and discuss their findings.
In the second lesson, students create a visual representation of the data collected and recorded in this lesson.
This lesson was developed in collaboration with Caty Morris and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance (ATSIMA).
