This resource supports teachers as they guide students through an inquiry approach to wellbeing issues. It includes inquiry-based learning activities for health and mathematics, using data from the 2023 CensusAtSchool survey.
The resource is primarily for students in years 9–10. However, several of the activities are also applicable for year 11 and can support their learning towards NCEA Level 1 mathematics and statistics requirements.
The data used in this resource includes both general wellbeing, and tailored survey questions about being online and alcohol use.
The activities in this resource can be used individually as learning experiences to develop skills related to the use of statistical data; a selection of activities may be combined to give context to statistical investigations; or as part of a unit of learning about digital wellbeing, or alcohol education.
The resource is divided into three parts and also includes an overview and references section:
- Overview of the resource and support agencies:
- Part A – inquiries to develop students’ capabilities in engaging in data-informed inquiry
- Part B – inquiries related to attitudes about being online
- Part C – inquiries related to attitudes about alcohol use
