Direct instruction
The learning intention of this lesson was to understand what sampling is and why it is used. I wanted their understanding of sampling to come from a tangible experience - by actually sampling something physical themselves.
This video shows the class taking samples of around 16 sweets, then combining with another student to get a sample of around 32 sweets, and then combining with a group of four to get samples of around 64 sweets. The students record their samples at each step and then compare to the whole class population.
