3 New Zealand organisations that have developed teaching and learning resources for us that are aligned to the NZ Curriculum.
NZ transport agency (NZTA) resources for Level 1 and Level 2 inference; data sets, assessment ideas, and suggestions for teaching. They have also a wonderful resource that links stopping distances with trigonometry as a focus for our Year 10 students.
Agrication, a partnership between NZ Young Farmers, Core Education and funding from Red Meat Profit partnership. The resources with a secondary mathematics and statistics focus include, Predicting Progeny (y9-10), Down on the Farm (y9-10) & Sheep Thrills for Rambo (L2 inference)
Sorted in Schools focusses on financial capability. Resources come with both cross curricular and single subject focus. The resources are aligned to both the NZ curriculum and Te Mauratanga o Aotearoa in te reo Māori and english.

RNZ Tim Harford:How to make the world add up COVID-19 has put the power and accuracy of statistics at centre stage. Infection rates, ‘R’ numbers, new cases, hospital admissions and the data underpinning new vaccines are being used by the media to tell stories about the pandemic, and are scrutinised daily to make vital public health decisions. It is familiar territory for ‘undercover economist’, journalist and broadcaster Tim Harford who explores the beauty of statistics, and their uses, abuses and shortcomings in his new book How to Make the World Add Up. The book is Harford’s eighth following his bestseller The Undercover Economist, and the popular book (and BBC podcast) 50 Things that Made the Modern Economy.
