People behind the statistics

A useful and timely post from Catherine Owen (given the recent eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano).

One for GCSE students to explore for sure.

It looks at the way that teachers use statistics following disasters, and how that might be developed to ensure that the actual people involved are not forgotten.


Catherine refers to a video in the post, and that can be found on the Encounter Edu website along with some teaching materials.

Here's the original tweet as well - Catherine asks for your own ideas on what you could do to share your stories of the people behind the statistics, so please get in touch if you have some.
