Shooting 3-pointers: Part 2
Following Shooting 3-pointers: Part 1, in this lesson, students conduct a statistical investigation, collecting and analysing data using percentages, and choosing efficient calculations and strategies. The investigation is communicated visually and verbally to the teacher and peers. Students reflect on feedback and consider revisions for the investigation.

Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts; formulate problems, choosing efficient calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, reviewing the appropriateness of the model
AC9M8N04
Use the 4 operations with integers and with rational numbers, choosing and using efficient strategies and digital tools where appropriate
AC9M8ST04
Plan and conduct statistical investigations involving samples of a population; use ethical and fair methods to make inferences about the population and report findings, acknowledging uncertainty
AC9M8ST02
Analyse and report on the distribution of data from primary and secondary sources using random and non-random sampling techniques to select and study samples
AC9M8ST03
Compare variations in distributions and proportions obtained from random samples of the same size drawn from a population and recognise the effect of sample size on this variation |
