When analysing data there are many complex and wicked problems that require evidence and insight to solve. This focus area introduces students to the use of data analysis tools to make meaning that informs data driven decision making.

Students are provided opportunities to complete activities that build skills and understanding to create a project that analyses and visualises datasets to inform or persuade.

The suite of resources includes a Program of learning that shows the teaching and learning cycle over a semester with learning intentions and success criteria and this can be contextualised to your school.

The Teacher support resource has a series of activities that align to the Program of learning and can readily be converted to a student booklet with the extraction of the sample answers.

There are also two sample assessment tasks that can be completed throughout the Program of Learning. These assessment samples give opportunity for formative and summative feedback.
