Many schools are now entering pupils for GCSE Statistics alongside GCSE Mathematics. This course is based on the AQA GCSE Statistics course, but should also be useful to those teaching the Edexcel specification. The course will provide practical teaching advice and materials for use in the classroom, with a particular emphasis on the topics which are likely to be unfamiliar to teachers - such as the interpretation of statistical evidence in the statistical project.

The course will cover all the main topic areas of the specification, show how ICT can best be used in teaching the concepts and in carrying out the project. The speaker will also provide you with clear guidance on the tricky question of guiding your pupils' choice of project and the amount and types of support you can give them.
