Unit 4 School-assessed Coursework – How to develop a modelling or problem-solving task for probability and statistics

The following videos, PowerPoint and task design template have been produced to assist teachers in developing a modelling or problem-solving task.

How to develop a modelling or problem-solving task for probability and statistics presentation

Modelling or problem-solving task design template

Video 1: Choosing the context and identifying questions of interest

This describes how the context for the sample modelling or problem-solving task was selected, its title, introductory and background text, and source(s) of data or other information, as applicable.

Video 1: Choosing the context and identifying questions of interest transcript

Video 2: Part 1

This shows how the first part of the sample modelling or problem-solving task was developed, and identifies context, questions of interest, source(s) of data or information, possible scaffolding, as applicable, and relevant content. It specifies analysis required for this part and sub-parts of the task.

Video 2: Part 1 transcript

Video 3: Part 2

This shows how the second part of the sample modelling or problem-solving task was developed, and identifies context, questions of interest, source(s) of data or information, possible scaffolding, as applicable, and relevant content. It specifies analysis required for this part and sub-parts of the task.

Video 3: Part 2 transcript

Video 4: Part 3

This shows how the third part of the sample modelling or problem-solving task was developed, and identifies context, questions of interest, source(s) of data or information, possible scaffolding, as applicable, and relevant content. It specifies analysis required for this part and sub-parts of the task.

Video 4: Part 3 transcript

Video 5: Assessment

This shows how to map mark weightings for the three parts of the sample modelling or problem-solving task with respect to the outcomes and identifies aspects of the task related to the VCAA performance criteria for the outcomes from the Support materials section of the study page.
