Year 8 Maths students have begun their Investigation Unit on ‘What Makes a Typical Year 8 Student?’ Here, students are running their own data collection activities in their groups to find out about the typical Year 8 student. 

Each group are focusing on two characteristics, including the distance a Year 8 student can kick a football, the number of seconds it takes to run 100m and number of smarties they can move from one plate to another. 

Next, they will analyse the data, by finding the mean, mode and median.
