Understanding the range is really important for Year 7 Maths students. But many of them find it hard to see why it matters in statistics.

Challenges:

• Understanding Spread: Students often have trouble figuring out how data points are spread out.

• Using It in Real Life: It can be tricky to apply the concept of range in real-life situations.

Solutions:

• Teachers can share real-life examples and fun activities to help explain the range.

• Using visual tools like graphs can make it easier for students to understand and calculate the range. The range is simply found by using this formula: $Range = \text{maximum} - \text{minimum}$.
