We are thrilled to have partnered with Cool.org to create this six-lesson unit, designed for Mathematics and able to be complemented by Civics and Citizenship. Through these units students explore how data collection methods shape representation and influence real-world decisions. They examine how bias and exclusion affect fairness and inclusion.
Students conduct their own ethical statistical investigation and use their findings to develop an evidence-based Upstander Action Plan, recognising mathematics as a tool for informed, responsible change to issues of diversity and inclusion within their community.
This new unit adds to the already existing Courage to Care resources on the Cool.org website, which provide teachers with accessible and engaging lessons and materials that educate about the dangers of racism, prejudice, discrimination and bystander behaviour, supporting and empowering their students in changing from bystander attitudes and behaviour to Upstander action.
