reSolve: Reconciliation data

This lesson prompts students to examine data from the Reconciliation Barometer report, collect their own local data and compare with the national findings. Students discuss the meaning of reconciliation, explore statements from the Reconciliation Barometer report, design a survey to collect local data relating to the statements from the report, graph their data, interpret their findings and compare their results to national data. The lesson is outlined in detail including curriculum links, a supporting PowerPoint presentation, links to data and videos, discussion points and student resources. This sequence is part of the reSolve: Mathematics by Inquiry program.
