A short activity which demonstrates the importance of correctly interpreting data.
This is a PowerPoint presentation telling the true story of mathematician Abraham Wald. He was employed by the US Army during WW2 to help with the war effort. An excellent activity for students with a range of ability levels.
The information is from “How Not to be Wrong: The Hidden Maths of Everyday Life” by Jordan Ellenberg. I found it an excellent read and would recommend to all maths teachers.
