Teaching Statistics in Lower Secondary School Mathematics Through Experiential Activities

The application of experiential learning activities in teaching Mathematics at lower secondary schools has attracted increasing attention, as it helps students develop a stronger interest and passion for Mathematics while enabling them to apply mathematical knowledge to real-life situations. This article designs a teaching plan for the topic Statistics in lower secondary school Mathematics through the integration of experiential learning activities and conducts a pedagogical experiment to examine students’ learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class. The findings indicate that students improved their learning outcomes more proactively and actively, thereby contributing to the development of their qualities and competencies in accordance with the learning outcomes required by the 2018 General Education Curriculum. The study provides a useful reference for lower secondary school Mathematics teachers in designing experiential activities in their lesson plans.
