1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

Seraphina collects data on the average attendance per game for a local football team from 2000 to 2011. After graphing the data, she determines that it appears linear. Is generating a line-of-best-fit a sophisticated process? Why or why not? | answers vary | 4. Seraphina collects data on the average attendance per game for a local football team from 2000 to 2011. After graphing the data, she determines that it appears linear and determines the line of best fit. She then uses this to predict the average attendance for 2012, 2015 and 2020. Discuss the validity of these conclusions. | answers vary | 5. What is the maximum number of marks that can be awarded for the Internal Assessment? | 20 | 6.
