What's in Your Bowl?Statistics. Data cycle. Lesson

This task uses a Problem-Solving Approach and is designed to take approximately 3 hours of teaching time. The resource enables teachers to lead pupils through the problem of clear labelling food to help make good dietary choices. The Consumers Association (Which?) and Food Standards Agency have suggested a traffic light system (good, fair & bad) to be printed on labels. Pupils investigate the content of breakfast cereals and apply the traffic light system to the results. (Problem solving cycle, data collection, tally charts, mean, mode and median for KS3.)
