Where’s the mankarr? Recording and visualising data: Part 2

In this second of two lessons, students view a video to record data about the bilby (mankarr). They visualise and interpret the data.

In the previous lesson Where’s the mankarr? Video observation data, students investigate data from animal observations recorded by a video camera.

This lesson was developed in collaboration with Caty Morris and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance (ATSIMA).

ESA would like to acknowledge the Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa and Martu peoples as developers of the source material used in the creation of this lesson.
