These are examples that could be used to
show how data can be used and presented
Candidates need to be able to understand
that information can be presented in a
variety of ways for clarity and for analysis.
For this candidates need to see, completed
examples, of organisations/business that
use mathematical, statistical and graphical
techniques. Many of the statistics used will
summarise data and allow the user to see
trends and patterns.

Examples of where and how mathematical
and statistical techniques can be used and
how using a spreadsheet can help when
applying these techniques
This is a practical opportunity to apply a
range of techniques to examples of data.
These examples could relate to actual
business data. For the effective application
of this it will require candidates having an
understanding of functions within
spreadsheet software. The range of
numerical and graphical techniques may be
linked to AC1.1 and 1.2 in that candidates
have identified in their plan what techniques
they will investigate. Examples could include
using percentages and averages, estimation
to more complex techniques.
Group task from given examples eg
summarising the possible costs of
introducing a new technological solution

Examples will be provided by the centre

Candidates are now asked to apply these
techniques to solve business problems.
These examples could come in the form of
case studies using examples found in G087
Exploring organisations. An example could
be to calculate the cost of introducing new

Carry out these techniques to
demonstrate costs and
benefits to an organisation

Demonstrate Mathematical Competence
OCR recognises that the teaching of this qualification above will vary greatly from school to school
and from teacher to teacher. With that in mind, this lesson plan is offered as a possible approach. It
is subject to modifications by the individual teacher.
Lesson length is assumed to be one hour.
Learning Objectives for the Lesson
Objective 1
Identify what are numerical and graphical techniques
Objective 2
Be able to describe examples of techniques and the advantage of using them
Recap of Previous Experience and Prior Knowledge
This forms the first of three lessons that related to AC 3. However, candidates should build upon
what they have devised in their action plan including the numerical and graphical techniques they
will be investigating.

Candidates work in groups to identify the variety of different mathematical and
graphical information being used throughout the documents eg a table
summarising data on criminal convictions
Working in groups candidates produce a report or presentation identifying the
advantages of using such techniques rather than alternative methods.
Candidates note any additional techniques that they may apply to the data eg a
particular graphical technique or function.
