Tākarokaro
Let's get active
As New Zealanders get older they also get less active, and patterns of activeness vary between gender鈥檚 ethnicities, socioeconomic groups and where people live.
Your challenge is to use 爆料社区鈥檚 Insights Tool to research patterns of activeness and then design activities to get your community active for sharing at a 鈥楾膩karokaro鈥� festival.
Setting the scene
If we are going to help get our community more active then we need to understand what patterns of activity look likes in our community. The goal is to be able to answer questions such as why is participation important, what value do people place on participation, how do rates vary across groups, and what is being done to improve participation. Once we know this then we can design activities to help get members of our community active.
Watch the video to get some inspiration for your learning journey.
Learn about statistics
There are three sets of classroom learning experiences and a set of sports experiences to help build the knowledge and skills you will need to learn about patterns of activity in your community. Your teacher will decide with you which experiences you are going to use and will tailor these to the phase of schooling that you are currently in (either years 4-6 or years 7-8). Your teacher will also frame with you how the learning intentions for each activity relate to the following key things to know about Mathematics and Statistics for your phase of learning.
Years 4 to 6
Tauanga | Statistics
The statistical enquiry cycle (PPDAC 鈥� Problem, Plan, Data, Analysis, Conclusion) can be used in summary, comparison, and time-series investigations (for example, about school-related matters).
Years 7 and 8
Tauanga | Statistics
The statistical enquiry cycle (PPDAC 鈥� Problem, Plan, Data, Analysis, Conclusion) can be used to conduct data-based investigations about the wider community.
Regardless of the phase of learning that you are in, the intention is that the activities will help you to explore and deepen your understanding of how Mathematical and statistical logic and reasoning enable us to identify and explain relationships and to justify conclusions.
We are going to design activities to help get every body active in our community. Before doing this we will research participation in play, active recreation and sport in our class, community and Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our next step is to design some activities to help get every body active in our community. Before creating our own activities we are going to get a feel for how teachers and sports go about designing games to keep people active.
Now we have designed our activities it is time to test them. First thing we need to do is to check that they work! Once we have fixed any of the problems with our activities we can see what impact they have on our bodies and on our wellbeing.
Sport experiences
T膩karokaro provides the opportunity to engage with sport by participating in two sport experiences. The first involves coaches and players from your local sports club coming to your school, or you going to their club, to talk about the activities they use and how they go about designing these activities. The second is a T膩karokaro festival, held one evening at a local club. Each festival engages wh膩nau in the research and activities that you have undertaken and designed. Watch the video to see an example of rugby engaging with schools and kura.
Take action
You will remember when you started on theT膩karokaro learning journey that your challenge was to research patterns of active participation in your schools and the community. To support your progression toward becoming knowledgeable about Tauanga | Statistics we have set up two challenges, one each for 膩konga in years 4-6, and years 7-8. Regardless of the phase of learning that you are in, the intention is that the challenges will help you progress in building your capability to use the statistical enquiry cycle.
