Task • Decide on a group of 2 or 3 • Each team is going to pick a team in the world cup (use cards) at random from the teacher. • This is the country who you are going to work for
Now you have your team... • It will be your job to represent your country and using statistics show why your team is going to win the world cup. • Think about what diagrams and averages you have previously looked at and how you can make your data misleading. • You must present your findings to the rest of the class.
