Mathematics and statistics education consultancy services
Spending the week at Concord Consortium, home of CODAP, https://codap.concord.org/ . My challenge this week is to create short screen cast videos of some of the guides I have made for teaching aspects of statistics and probability using CODAP as a tool to support the teaching and learning.
My first video – 3 mins.

On Saturday I presented a short topic at the Auckland Mathematics Association morning session on getting started with CODAP (Common Online Data Analysis Platform https://codap.concord.org/).
Notes and links from the session can be found at http://tinyurl.com/AMA-29June2019.
In addition there are three draft activities that I have been working on. All three are part of a bigger lesson sequence so they need to be viewed with that in mind.
The first one looks at introducing measures of centre using CODAP.
The second one looks at a progression for scatter graphs, around curriculum level 5, using Q-plots to see if there is an association or not.
The third one is a look at posing investigative questions.
Many of the activities that I have developed over the years have used a simple 5-6 variable data card. The excel spreadsheet “to make simplefive-sixvariable datacards” is set up so that you can drop in your own data, do some rearranging and then copy and transpose into one of the set up tabs. From there you can print off your own data cards.
Instructions are on the first tab. Have fun.
