infoWhy this? Understanding data collection helps us recognise sampling methods, bias, and the limitations of evidence. Measures of location and spread enable meaningful comparisons of typical values and variability. Mechanics modelling shows how assumptions about particles, strings, and surfaces make physical situations mathematically manageable.

scheduleWhy now? The statistics strand begins with how data are produced and summarised, so later representations, relationships, and inferences can be interpreted critically. Mechanics conventions and assumptions are introduced before motion and force problems, establishing a consistent framework for constructing and evaluating models.
