The Economics of Health: How do we decide?
An inspiring resource for learning numeracy
A multi-modal resource pack for exploring the mathematics of health care
Numeracy Focus: Using proportional reasoning
This resource pack features video clips, presentations, worksheets and teacher notes designed to help students understand the financial and other constraints surrounding health care systems.
Students are given scenarios to consider which medications to provide, how to maximise survival rates within their budget, and how to use statistics to make a decision.
Students use probability, graphs, percentages and modelling in their decision making process.
This task is an in-depth look at how mathematics is used in our healthcare system and how mathematics is used in everyday decision making.
