The lesson is part of a series of lessons that I teach in Year 8 on Global Development. This lessons follows a Top Trumps lesson on Development Indicators, so my students already have some knowledge of different indicators. The focus of this lesson is using maths skills such as RANGE, MEDIAN, MEAN and MODE alongside Scattergraphs. The lesson starts with the factfulness quiz to challenge misconceptions. There are two levels of worksheet, one for mainstream and one for LAPS. There is also a ‘Moving On’ activity for HAPS students.

This lesson is part of a series of lessons on the Development Gap. Students already know the causes and consequences of the development gap. In this lesson they are presented with FOUR strategies to address the development gap - Eploiting raw materials, investing in industrial development, Tourism and Fairtrade. The lesson starts with an oral activity - HOTSEAT. Students have a reading activity and a table to complete to address the good and bad points of each strategy. They then RANK the strategies and make a decision on which one they think is best. The lesson ends with a discussion.
