About This Lesson
Data and Statistics are still burdened with the unfortunate reputation of being rather dull topics in math. I find this highly unfair, and there are few more important and relevant mathematical topics to the lives of students and the word around them. Previously we have looked at websites which can help bring statistics to life, and My Life in Numbers deserves to sit alongside those. Just wait until you see your students’ reaction to the number of heartbeats Justin Bieber has had, and how David Beckham’s earnings tick by quicker than the passing seconds.
My Life in Numbers is another source of data which will capture your students' interests in a hands on and engaging way.
