Year Level: 10 Length: 4 Weeks Number of Lessons: 12 Domains: Mathematics and Psychology, ICT, Intercultural Understanding, Aboriginal and Torres straight Islanders Histories and Cultures
The material covered in the following unit will help assist students in understanding why mathematics is so important in psychology. This is done through offering a number of different activities related to research methods in psychology as well as different activities related to statistics and probability in mathematics for year 10 students. The following lesson plans and final summative assessment task will challenge students and assist them in gaining an understanding in the world around them, specifically in Aboriginal and Torres straight Islanders Histories and Cultures. By the end of this unit students should be able to collect and analyse statistical data, understand key concepts involved with statistics and demonstrating this through the use of psychology. They will learn to understand research methods, how to graph properly and how to predict a probability of an outcome. Students will also learn about health issues among indigenous Australians, the students will have to do a research project on this and then are expected to present their findings, using all their knowledge that they have acquired from this unit. This unit will be using a number of different multi-literacies including ICT, mathematics, psychology and intercultural understanding. Students use of Mind42 and movie maker Vizzywig to present their findings promotes modern day learning and is easy to understand for the information age.

Lesson: I do Give students a quick definition of what statistical data is and what its used for Hand out a case study to students so they can retrieve the statistical data from the case Advise students to get into groups of 3- 4, then hand out clue sheets to the groups Advise students that they are going to do an activity outside and that each group has a clue with statistical data on it, once they have worked out the answer it will give them a location of another clue. There is three clues before the clues will revile the end location
Guided: We do Discuss students responses on what they think statistical data is and what its used for Go through answers to case study Run outside activity with students retrieving and interpreting clues that are to do with statistical data
Independent: You do After discussion of what statistical data is ask students to complete the case study Unit Plan Year 10 Mathematics and Psychology
Students are to complete case study in approximately 20mins After discussion of case study students will be asked to get into groups of 3-4 Students will then be given a clue and told that once they have interpreted and retrieved an answer it will revile the next clue. They will be told that there are three clues and then the final destination This will also be done as a race and the first ones back win Advise students they have 30 minutes to do this activity
Generalise/review Ask students what they remember about statistical data Ask students if they can explain how to retrieve and interpret statistical data Review why statistical data is important specifically to psychology
Assessment/Check for Understanding: Discuss answers to the case study once students have completed it Discuss how to interpret and retrieve statistical data and why it is important to see how much students remember
Next Lesson Focus/Differentiation: Students are to complete and make sure their definition books are up to date so they can use these for revision later in the unit Advise Students that we will be discussing Key concepts of research methods in the next class and will be completing different activities to do with this including case studies with Indigenous Australians

Guided: We do Go through answers with students in relation to matching activity at the beginning of the lesson Discuss answers to questions on PowerPoint slide with students that relate to research methods. Independent : You do Different Indigenous Australian health issue case studies are hung throughout school corridor. Students have 20 minutes to work in pairs to select a case study from school corridor and then are required to answer questions on case study. Students have 20 minutes to complete reading and answering the questions on the worksheet before returning to the classroom and going through the answers. Generalise/review
Review of what research methods are with students Ask students if they can remember what some of the key terms are without looking at their workbooks.

Lesson: I do Give students a brief example of some health issues that affect Indigenous Australians Open up YouTube and show students video on indigenous Australians Health (video called Indigenous Health) Ask students to work in groups of 4, open up Mind42 on laptop or computers, hand students sheet on how to use Mind42 and get them to create a mind map with different health issues that affect Indigenous Australians, do this for about 15 minutes Once students have finished their mind map get them to send it to you Open Mind42 and as a class discuss the different health issues that the students have come up with and add to the mind map any different ones students have come up with that arent Unit Plan Year 10 Mathematics and Psychology
already on your mind map In the same groups of 4 that the students were just working in tell them that each group needs to pick one health issue and make a poster with different symptoms for that issue, what the issue actually is and what they can do to help prevent the issue. Do this for about 20-30 minutes and then present to class
Guided: We do Discuss responses to different health issues that affect Indigenous Australians Discuss with students why they think those health issues affect Indigenous Australians more than other cultures
Independent: You do After discussion and YouTube video on Indigenous health get students to complete a mind map in groups of 4 After further discussion students are to pick one health issue and make a poster that they can present to the class
