Session 2 Choose between two workshops:
 
Working with real data with Tom Rainbow (also available in Session 3)
Your students will be expected to work with data as part of the process of reaching informed conclusions. Many of these students will go on to study degrees or have careers that will utilise and further develop this learning. But when faced with a data set, where on earth do you start?

In this session we will work through the process of investigating a data set. This will include:
·        choosing contexts to hook students in
·        how to use effective analysis to tell stories with data
·        using free online technology to bring data to life
 
Whilst we will be using some relevant statistical methods within this session the primary focus will be on the data itself and how you can assist in moving your learners’ thinking from ‘opinionated’ to ‘informed’.

**No prior experience with spreadsheets is required**
 
Supporting students with lower prior attainment in maths with Sarah Denison

Do you find that some of your students struggle with basic maths skills? Does their difficulty in applying numerical skills in context make it hard to embed mathematics in your course?

In this session, we will explore:
·        ways to assess students’ prior learning
·        representations that can support students’ understanding (with a particular focus on percentages and ratio)
·        the variation you might put in place to fully assess students’ understanding of a concept
 

Session 3 Choose between two workshops:
 
Working with real data with Tom Rainbow (please see Session 2 for description)
 
Introduction to hypothesis testing with Cat van Saarloos
In our day to day lives we regularly make inferences about the world around us. In fact, we may even be doing informal hypothesis tests in our head. But it can be challenging to help students relate this informal process to the statistical tests they are required to perform and interpret.

In this session, we will:
·        discuss embedding informal inference in your lessons
·        unpick the formal process of hypothesis testing
·        showcase popular resources
 

Session 4 with Sarah Denison
With a packed curriculum, it can be tricky to find the time to embed the mathematical requirements within your course. In this session you will explore free, engaging and interactive digital activities which will enhance student learning. There are separate collections for Biology, Geography and Psychology which are tailored to the mathematical requirements and contexts in your course.

In this session, you will learn how to:
· assign activities to your students
· collect student responses and use them to give quality feedback on misconceptions
·  personalise an activity with a card sort, multiple choice questions and add media content
