Most people who are experiencing homelessness, or at risk of it, remain hidden from public view, living in overcrowded dwellings, rooming houses, caravan parks, or crisis accommodation, sleeping in cars or couch surfing.

We will be investigating statistics and probability through the topic of homelessness. If you're not familiar with the topic outside of what they may have seen on the media, that’s OK, as you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the topic now.

Statistics are often sources of information that are presented to show a certain point of view and can often be seen as misleading. Look through the presentation below. In groups, interpret your graph and annotate your ideas. Each graph has a prompt question that can be used to help guide your discussion. This is an opportunity to look closely at how a graph presents information and how information can be misinterpreted or misleading.

Share your ideas and thoughts on the misleading graphs with those around you.
