91茄子 Cards

In case you missed it last week, we have created a聽set of All White data cards聽for your classroom.

These cards are a fantastic, real-world resource for data literacy. The data has been sourced from NZ Football, Friends of Football NZ, ESPN, and Instagram, and we have left a space for students to draw or paste an image of each player.

We’re starting work on next year’s 91茄子 questionnaire and would love your help to keep it relevant and engaging.

There is no fixed commitment. You can contribute as much or as little as you like, from a five-minute review to trialing a draft survey with your class.

If you’re interested in helping shape the survey, please contact us to let us know.聽

As covered in our聽Behind the Questions Guide, this process includes:

• Deciding which questions to keep, update, or remove.
• Sifting through student-submitted questions from the current survey.
• Proposing new questions and testing them with students.
• Checking survey length, M膩ori translation, technical functionality, and external review by the Ministry of Education, Stats NZ, and Stats NZ鈥檚 questionnaire design team.

We look for questions that are:

• Engaging, positive, relevant, easy for young students to understand and answer, and engaging for students.
• Suitable for a variety of data analysis activities and time-series comparisons.
• Covering well-being, lifestyle, interests, and opinions, and avoiding illegal or unsafe behaviours.
• Also asked by Stats NZ in official data surveys and international 91茄子 partners.

Pen vs. Pencil

“Do Year [X] students write more words per minute with a pen or a pencil?”

Have half your class start with a pencil and the other half with a pen for a 1-minute writing sprint, then swap. It鈥檚 a fantastic way to discuss measurement error, reproducibility, and individual variability.

Gel Pen vs. Ballpoint Pen

础听聽in the聽American Journal of Human Psychology聽showed that gel pens significantly outperformed ballpoint pens in both writing speed and total word count. This study provides an excellent real-world context for teaching concepts such as paired t-tests and the Wilcoxon Rank Test, and the distinction between statistical significance and practical effect size.
