G14 -The role of authentic data in maths education
Session
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.
Key take aways:
Using real and sometimes challenging data in mathematics fosters authentic learning experiences that engage students and spark their curiosity.
Engaging with authentic data helps students develop critical thinking skills, enabling them to ask the right questions, analyse information, and draw meaningful conclusions.
This approach strengthens mathematical abilities while preparing students for a data-driven world.
