  • Required: a device with this page open.
  • Optional: headphones for video or read-aloud.
  • Optional: pen + paper for rough working if that helps you think.
HOW TO DO IT
  1. Read or listen to the Briefing + Learn.
  2. Do the interactive mission.
  3. Use the reading and maths/data evidence.
  4. Make your decision and add the Project HQ step.
  5. Play the weekly game if you want, then complete Check-in.
WORK YOUR WAY

Short bursts are fine. Use Learning Tools for easier reading, read-aloud, less on screen, stronger contrast, no-rush and quieter-screen options.

If a question feels hard, go back to the worked teaching, use the hint/feedback, and try one step at a time.

MISSION BRIEFING

A fictional wellbeing dashboard is showing mixed messages. Sort the reliable information from the unsupported quick fixes, then build a practical toolkit for a fictional learner.

✓Explain that development varies between people.
✓Use precise wellbeing vocabulary.
✓Calculate an average and range from fictional data.
✓Distinguish reliable information from unsupported quick-fix claims.
INTERACTIVE LEARN MODE

No passive video this week.

This mission is deliberately built around its simulator, investigation, decision room or prototype instead of an external video.

LEARN

PATTERN → SUPPORT → CHECK SOURCE

Bodies and wellbeing change over time, and people do not all follow one exact timetable. Sleep, food, movement, stress, relationships and development can interact, so one number never tells the whole story. Reliable information explains what is known, names limits, avoids promising one perfect result for everyone and separates general guidance from personal medical advice. When someone is worried or something is not improving, asking a trusted adult or qualified professional is a sensible next step.

LEARNING BUILD

Learn the tools.

This section makes the thinking visible before the main mission. The guided check gives immediate feedback; the independent attempt is your own reasoning.

01 · REFRESH · QUICK PREREQUISITE CHECK

Refresh: mean = total ÷ number of values; range = highest value − lowest value.

For 7, 8, 6, 9 and 8 hours, what is the range?

Choose an answer to reactivate the idea you need for this week.

02 · TEACH · CORE IDEA

Bodies and wellbeing change over time, and people do not all follow one exact timetable. Sleep, food, movement, stress, relationships and development can interact, so one number never tells the whole story. Reliable information explains what is known, names limits, avoids promising one perfect result for everyone and separates general guidance from personal medical advice. When someone is worried or something is not improving, asking a trusted adult or qualified professional is a sensible next step.

03 · TEACH · WHAT TO NOTICE

Explain that development varies between people.Use precise wellbeing vocabulary.

04 · TEACH · CONNECT THE SKILLS

Calculate an average and range from fictional data.Distinguish reliable information from unsupported quick-fix claims.

05 · WORKED EXAMPLE

Worked example: 7 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 8 = 38. The mean is 38 ÷ 5 = 7.6 hours and the range is 3 hours. Those numbers describe the fictional record; they do not diagnose why a learner feels a certain way.

06 · WE DO · GUIDED PRACTICE

Which conclusion stays within the evidence?

Choose the strongest answer. You will get an explanation straight away.

07 · YOU TRY · INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

YOU TRY: Build a three-part support toolkit for a fictional learner. Include one practical support, one way to notice whether it helps, and one safe help-seeking option.

Write at least 15 words. This is about the learning, not personal information.

MISCONCEPTION

MISCONCEPTION: “One dashboard number tells the whole wellbeing story.” Wellbeing is influenced by interacting factors, variation and context.

HELP

HELP: Keep it non-personal. Think SLEEP / FOOD / MOVEMENT / STRESS / SUPPORT, then choose three low-risk actions for the fictional learner.

STRETCH · OPTIONAL

STRETCH (optional): Name two other variables you would want recorded before making a stronger claim about the pattern, and explain why.

HAUORA CONTROL ROOM

Build a toolkit, not a miracle cure.

This is a fictional scenario. Choose at least three practical supports and leave the unsupported quick fixes out. You do not need to share anything personal.

Select at least three practical supports. Unsupported quick fixes should stay unselected.

OPEN THE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
SOURCE 1

Variation note

People do not all develop at exactly the same age or speed.
SOURCE 2

Quick-fix post

A fictional creator promises one routine will solve several different wellbeing problems for everyone, but gives no reliable source.
SOURCE 3

Fictional sleep data

Five nights are recorded as 7, 8, 6, 9 and 8 hours.
SOURCE 4

Support pathway

Asking a trusted adult or qualified professional is a reasonable next step when someone is worried.

INVESTIGATE + ENGLISH · EVIDENCE CASE

No single dashboard tells the whole story

A fictional learner has had a busy week. Their sleep record is 7, 8, 6, 9 and 8 hours across five nights. They also skipped lunch twice and stopped taking their usual walk. None of those details proves exactly how they will feel, but together they give useful context. Patterns can suggest questions to investigate, not diagnose a person from a dashboard. A viral post offering one quick fix for everything is much weaker because it promises the same result for everyone and gives no trustworthy source. A safer response is to use practical supports, notice whether things improve and ask a trusted adult or qualified professional when extra help is needed.

MAKE THE CALL

Build a three-part coping toolkit for a fictional learner. Choose practical, low-risk supports and explain why you rejected the one-size-fits-all quick fix.

BUILD YOUR CASE CONCLUSION1. Make the call. 2. Use at least two relevant pieces of evidence. 3. Explain one limitation or uncertainty. 4. Finish with what can responsibly be concluded.Strong structure: My judgement is… The strongest evidence is… However, we still do not know… Therefore…

CASE CONCLUSION: Write 120–170 words for a fictional Year 7 learner explaining three realistic wellbeing supports. Include one fact about variation, one pattern from the fictional data and one safe help-seeking option. Keep the task non-personal.

KEEP YOUR SKILLS SHARP

YOUR WEEKLY TRAINING

Four short sessions to spread across your week. Each has six problems and a reasoning mission. Allow about 10–15 minutes per session, and take longer when you need it.

Use paper for working. Enter numbers only; units are shown beside each answer. These are fictional practice scenarios.

0 / 24 correct
SESSION 1 · NUMBER CHECK0 / 6

LEARN THE METHOD

Use brackets first, then powers, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction. For fractions, use a common denominator.

WORKED EXAMPLE

18 + 4 × 3 = 18 + 12 = 30. But (18 + 4) × 3 = 66.

  1. Use a hint

    Multiply first: 8 × 3 = 24; add 25 to get 49.

  2. Use a hint

    Brackets first: 33 × 3 = 99.

  3. Check the method after trying

    8² = 64; subtract 3.

  4. Check the method after trying

    One quarter is 22; multiply by 3.

  5. Check the method after trying

    1/2 = 2/4, so 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4 = 0.75.

  6. Check the method after trying

    (203 − 3) ÷ 8 = 25.

Compare your reasoning after trying

Multiplication is done before addition unless brackets change the order. For example, 2 + 3 × 4 = 14, but (2 + 3) × 4 = 20.

Your example may differ. Check your calculations and whether you explained why.

SESSION 2 · TIME PLANNER0 / 6

LEARN THE METHOD

Elapsed time is end minus start. Convert hours to minutes using 60 minutes per hour. Cross an hour boundary in steps. Dates in these practice questions are fictional planning data.

WORKED EXAMPLE

From 09:45 to 11:10: 15 minutes to 10:00, 60 to 11:00, then 10 more = 85 minutes.

  1. years

    Use a hint

    End year minus start year = 60; do not count both endpoint years as elapsed years.

  2. minutes

    Use a hint

    3 × 60 + 25 = 205.

  3. minutes

    Check the method after trying

    Start is 40 minutes after 09:00; add 26.

  4. minutes

    Check the method after trying

    92 − 5 − 3 = 84.

  5. minutes

    Check the method after trying

    Task total 93, plus 10 break minutes.

  6. minutes

    Check the method after trying

    276 − 92 − 26 − 3 = 155.

Compare your reasoning after trying

One possible plan: 20 + 25 + 25 minutes of work, a 10-minute break and a 10-minute buffer = 90. Use the buffer or reduce a task if work overruns.

Your example may differ. Check your calculations and whether you explained why.

SESSION 3 · DATA INVESTIGATOR0 / 6

LEARN THE METHOD

Mean = total ÷ count. Median is the middle ordered value (average the middle pair if needed). Mode is most frequent. Range = maximum − minimum.

WORKED EXAMPLE

For 2, 4, 4, 6, 9: mean = 25 ÷ 5 = 5; median = 4; mode = 4; range = 9 − 2 = 7.

  1. Use a hint

    Total 120 ÷ 4 = 30.

  2. Use a hint

    Ordered: 27, 29, 30, 31, 36; take the middle.

  3. Check the method after trying

    35 − 25 = 10.

  4. Check the method after trying

    28 occurs three times.

  5. Check the method after trying

    Average the middle two: (29 + 33) ÷ 2 = 31.

  6. Check the method after trying

    Old total = 108; new total = 155; divide by 5.

Compare your reasoning after trying

A large outlier raises the total and mean. A larger sample can still be biased if it only includes one kind of respondent; selection matters as well as size.

Your example may differ. Check your calculations and whether you explained why.

SESSION 4 · CHANCE LAB0 / 6

LEARN THE METHOD

For equally likely outcomes, probability = favourable outcomes ÷ total outcomes. A probability of 0 is impossible and 1 is certain. Expected counts are predictions, not guarantees.

WORKED EXAMPLE

With 3 red and 7 blue counters, P(red) = 3/10 = 0.3. Over 50 draws with replacement, expect about 15 red, but actual results can vary.

  1. Use a hint

    5 out of 20 = 1/4 = 0.25.

  2. Use a hint

    3/4 = 0.75.

  3. Check the method after trying

    5/10 = 1/2 = 0.5.

  4. Check the method after trying

    Expected count = 200 × 1/2. This is not guaranteed.

  5. Check the method after trying

    Probability = 1/4; expected count = 100 ÷ 4.

  6. Check the method after trying

    There are no yellow counters, so this outcome is impossible.

Compare your reasoning after trying

No. Each independent flip still has probability 1/2 of heads. Earlier results do not force the next outcome.

Your example may differ. Check your calculations and whether you explained why.
