A new teaching resource for Year 13

To be presented by Mike Camden (Statistics New Zealand and the NZSA Education Committee)

A second set of 15 edited DVD presentations on research projects using statistics has been completed. Associated MS Excel data files contain all data and classroom tasks are suggested. Sections of one DVD will be shown along with data and task details. Included is a resampling procedure for MS Excel which is easy to use without other MS Excel add ons. The 15 DVD's, which cover in total four hours of presentation, are about to be placed on the University of Otago unitube site. Another website with links to unitube is being established for data, associated tasks and the bootstrap procedure. Feedback from teachers is welcome. If worthwhile, more projects will be filmed in areas of interest to school students, like rugby injuries and youth motor accidents.
