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
Modelling or problem-solving task design template
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
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
This shows how the second and third parts of the sample modelling or problem-solving task were 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 these parts and sub-parts of the task.
Video 3: Part 2 and Part 3 transcript
This shows how to map mark weightings for the three parts of the sample application 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.
Video 4: Assessment transcript
