STATSERCISE is a theme based student activity which provides short exercises and statistical snippets designed to prompt student thought about how statistics can be collected, analysed and used. The activities use published ABS statistics and make reference to further information on the ABS web site.
All data and associated activities are designed to enhance learning and further challenge students at the upper primary levels (grades 4, 5, 6, 7).
STATSERCISE is published in Adobe Acrobat format and is ready to use in the classroom. Each edition of STATSERCISE covers a different theme with new editions published throughout the year. Click the Adobe Acrobat icon to download.
The latest edition of STATSERCISE is centred around the topic of World Population. Students can increase their knowledge of statistics and discover interesting facts about the world's population with some fun activities.
