Session Description

In this session we will explore how real, available, and sometimes ‘hard’ data provides for authentic learning opportunities in mathematics in a way that sparks curiosity in students. By working with authentic data, students develop critical thinking skills. They learn to ask the right questions, analyse information, and draw meaningful conclusions. This not only strengthens their mathematical abilities but also prepares them for a data-driven world.
