To help Year 8 students learn about statistical terms, teachers can use these simple strategies:

1. Key Terms: Focus on important words like mean, median, mode, and range.

2. Ask Questions: Encourage students to ask questions such as:

   • "What is the average score?"
   • "How do we figure out the most common answer?"

3. Real-Life Examples: Use real data, like student heights or test scores, to help students understand:

   • Measures of central tendency:
     • Mean: This is the average.
     • Median: This is the middle value.
     • Mode: This is the most common number.
   • Range: This shows the difference between the highest and lowest numbers.

By using these simple methods, students can better understand statistical terms and how to use them in real life.
