Numeracy

Numeracy in Physical Education

This week we will continue the journey of looking at how Numeracy is used across all Domains at Wheelers Hill Secondary College.The focus for this week is Year 12 Physical Education.

The Year 12 Physical Education students were analysing and graphing Primary Data they had previously collected in a Practical Laboratory activity. Some of the data included Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate and time data. This is a requirement for Unit 3 Outcome 2 VCE Physical Education.

All of this was in preparation for the SAC: ‘Laboratory Report based on primary data collected during participation in a practical activity, which analyses the relative contribution of energy systems and acute responses to exercise’. 

Below we can see Connor Whyte extending a graph to show what his prediction will be for the future. 

A big thankyou to Kerrie Lay for sharing how Numeracy is used in Physical Education at Wheelers Hill Secondary College.
