WED 1 – A Personal Doughnut

We have put together a resource incorporating a series of small activities in which your students will create their own doughnut, based on several social and environmental factors. This can be further developed by following another loop of the data handling cycle to refine and improve their work.

Included are: [to access these resources please click here]

  • Teacher presentation
  • Teacher guide

  • Student colour scales
  • Blank doughnuts

Mathematical concepts that may be encountered:

  • Cycle of enquiry
  • Data collection
  • Data processing
  • Calculating the mean in context
  • Innovative data presentation using dynamic software
