Discussion of outliers begins in Year 8, where students learn to identify and interpret them in data sets using box plots and scatter plots. They explore the effects of outliers on means and medians, deepening their understanding of statistical analysis.

Students learn to identify and analyse outliers within data sets. Tutero’s lessons explain the impact of outliers on statistical analysis and provide strategies for dealing with anomalous data, ensuring students can maintain the integrity of their analyses.
The outliers lesson plan incorporates enabling prompts for students who need help identifying outliers in data sets, alongside extending prompts for those ready to understand the effects of outliers on data analysis and how to manage them in statistical calculations. This structured approach enhances students' ability to critically assess and interpret data.

Tutero’s outliers exercise sheets challenge students to identify and analyse outliers in data sets, using examples from finance or scientific experiments. Understanding outliers helps students grasp their impact on data interpretation and decision-making, emphasising critical thinking in statistical analysis.

Identifying Outliers
Students learn to identify outliers in data sets and understand how outliers can influence the interpretation of data. They use graphical methods and calculation of statistical measures to detect anomalies. By Year 5, they are skilled in using more sophisticated statistical methods to handle outliers and make informed decisions about whether to include or exclude them in analyses.
Impact of Outliers on Data
Students learn to identify outliers in data sets and discuss how they can affect the mean and other statistics. They explore why outliers might occur and how to handle them in data analysis. By Year 5, students understand the impact of outliers in depth, applying statistical methods to decide how to manage outliers in scientific and real-world data.
Dealing with Outliers in Data Analysis
Initially, students identify outliers and learn about their effects on statistical measures like the mean and median. They explore methods to determine whether to exclude or include outliers in data analysis. By Year 5, students deal with outliers in professional contexts, using statistical reasoning to handle anomalies in datasets from fields such as science, economics, and health studies.
