The Choose your own statistics,
a dynamic resource produced in partnership with the Australian Human
Rights Commission. Use it with your middle years students to interrogate
data relating to a range of contemporary social issues.
This unique interactive learning resource has been designed to enable
students from Years 5 to 8 to gain a better understanding of important
human rights issues as they explore the latest statistics from respected
Australian institutions.Thought-provoking Infographics encourage students to critically evaluate their beliefs and deepen their understanding of the role that data representation plays in building knowledge and influencing decisions about social issues. Innovative technology enables students to explore the demographics of Australian society on a national and state level and see how the constitution of our country has changed over time.
Through the exploration of ten significant topics, students obtain a big picture overview of the data behind current issues like homelessness, immigration, sexual harassment, the justice system, and our ageing population. Interactive graphs provide a snapshot of the cultural background, religious beliefs, technology use and education and employment status of both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians of different ages and genders.
Statistics are presented using the full range of graphs included in the syllabus requirements of the Australian Mathematics curriculum. Students can customise and publish their own graphs, and all of the data is available for download to Excel to enable further exploration.
