Data scientist Steven Stern has built a FIFA World Cup simulation to predict the results of every game. The statistical modelling is explained, along with the predicted results based on one million simulations. He predicts the winner will most likely be Spain.

Data Cards
In case you missed it last week, we have created a set of All White data cards for your classroom.
These cards are a fantastic, real-world resource for data literacy. The data has been sourced from NZ Football, Friends of Football NZ, ESPN, and Instagram, and we have left a space for students to draw or paste an image of each player.
Dot Plots
This new PLD resource from Pip Arnold covers the different ways of teaching dot plots to students using the EIS-T model.
