GRADE 10 · CREATE AND COMMUNICATE · ABOUT 50 MINUTES

Communicate uncertainty honestly

Distinguish a measured result, estimate and unsupported guess.

Understand the idea

Readers need to know how confident a claim should be. Use ranges or caveats only when they follow from a stated method.

WORKED EXAMPLE

A task took 18, 20 and 22 minutes in three trials. A plan can allow about 20 minutes while noting that three trials may not capture all conditions.
