Lesson details
Key learning points

- Questions should be clear and unambiguous.
- The suitability of recording data in groups should be considered.
Keywords
Statistical Enquiry Cycle - The Statistical Enquiry Cycle is a cycle used to carry out a statistical investigation. There are five stages. This is an ongoing process as evaluation may lead to new/refined questioning.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to write response boxes that do not overlap for continuous data.
Remind pupils of how to write intervals using inequality symbols.
This lesson is discussion heavy. Pupils should be encouraged to heavily critique the poorly written questions and consider what unhelpful responses the question might receive.
