L02: Use data to produce graphical representations including line graphs, bar charts and histograms
L03: Interpreting the data by using measures of dispersion and average including mean, median, mode, range
L04: Consider changes over time by calculating rates of change
L05: Extrapolate data to consider future trends]]> 2023-04-24 11:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565546870 A group of 30 mixed ability Year 9 students from a range of different backgrounds in a secondary school in Birmingham grace01sinclair https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565546874 This group will have prior knowledge in calculating averages (mean, median, range, mode) but have not yet been exposed to interpreting graphs. Therefore, the students will first need to be taught the different methods for comparing data such as histograms and plotting line graphs. By working in groups, they can develop their collaborative skills such as negotiation and teamwork to present their findings in the final lesson.]]> 2023-04-24 11:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565546874 Teaching through a wide variety of pedagogies grace01sinclair https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565546888

- Histograms
- Bar charts
- Calculate averages - Mean, Median, Mode, Range

Extension task 1: Consider changes in pollution over time (1970 to 2022)

- Use rates of change

Extension task 2: Extrapolate data to look at future trend and consequences]]> 2023-04-24 12:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565584447 Overall Idea https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565668750 Pupils are faced with data on carbon emissions in different countries. They must work in groups to compare this data through the use of various data comparison techniques and present this to the class. Based on what they have found, pupils must make conclusions about how countries around the world contribute to climate change.  ]]> 2023-04-24 13:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565668750 Task https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565675299 1. To enable pupils to analyse data around carbon emissions around the world.

2. To make cross-country comparisons by calculating per capita emissions which compares the carbon emissions against total population for different countries for one specific year (i.e. 2019)]]> 2023-04-24 13:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565675299 Group, Names and Subject https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565677436 Names: Grace Sinclair, Sufyaan Khan, Jakub Miskiewicz, Adil Suleman

Subject: Maths]]> 2023-04-24 13:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565677436 1. Prior knowledge check grace01sinclair https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565678108 Ensure students can calculate averages:
mean, median, mode, range.

Climate change literacy:
carbon emissions - define keyword and describe how these emissions impact us and contribute to climate change.]]> 2023-04-24 13:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565678108 Urban Setting https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565683164 Since our students are based in Birmingham City they may be exposed to types of carbon emissions like local factories that burn fossil fuels/power stations and also transportation. These examples can be presented to support the students in understanding the context for an environment they are familiar in

Relevance: Students will feel the lesson is more relatable and therefore this should increase engagement. 

Students have previously expressed dissatisfaction in climate change lessons because they are based on other countries which are far away. If the data that the students use refers to countries like the UK or other countries, which are represented throughout the class, it will be more relatable. This will lead to increased engagement and the message about climate change will be stronger.]]> 2023-04-24 13:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565683164 Final Presentation grace01sinclair https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565686556 Students present their findings to the class. This may include showing any graphs that have been created based on the data. With students contributing their methods, reasonings and findings.  At least 3 conclusions based on students findings.
Questions and/or feedback given by peers
Presentation 15 mins. ]]> 2023-04-24 13:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565686556 3. Research https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565699549 Students are sent to find data online for carbon emissions for different countries which they will later analyse and interpret.

Differentiation: To ensure we are meeting differentiated needs, teacher would have some prior researched data that can be given to students who are struggling to find data, also can give more guidance on what data would be good to interpret and analysis - more guidance for those who are struggling to find good data on their own. Those who are confident in finding their own research can be given a greater degree of independence

Collaboration: Students collect their research and as a group, students consider the best way to compare the given data on carbon emissions. Ability to choose from the various examples given in previous lesson]]> 2023-04-24 13:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565699549 2. Graphs introduction grace01sinclair https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565699998 Students are taught how to plot different types of graphs, some they may have seen before (e.g. bar charts).
Examples are given for each type with reasons why this type of graph might be chosen e.g. line graphs can track changes over time, bar charts can help compare categories, histograms show distribution of data etc.
Model to students how to plot each type of graph from data.
Give students time to practice plotting different graphs to ensure they are confident before giving context.]]> 2023-04-24 13:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565699998 Knowledge grace01sinclair https://padlet.com/grace01sinclair/4yup2afp7k6djhqp/wish/2565705339 The comparison of carbon emissions around the world.
