Description

This resource can be used as a class activity or individual practice worksheet. Students are given 12 situations to analyze, and they must decide whether each of them represents a random sample or a biased sample. If being used as a class activity, students should cut out the squares (each situation is on one square). They can then tape them onto the board (have the board divided into 2 categories) based on what kind of sample they believe it is. As a class, you can then discuss each situation. A key is provided.

We were using De Bono's 6 thinking hats and looking at how our brain uses mental shortcuts to help us filter out information, but how that can lead to bias, so this was a great resource to help support that learning!
