Data Detective

Students take on the role of a “Data Detective” to analyze a dataset of fictional student test scores and study hours. By observing patterns, making predictions, and identifying potential bias or data gaps, learners discover how AI systems use and sometimes misinterpret data. The worksheet promotes analytical thinking, numeracy, and ethical awareness in technology. It encourages students to think critically about how algorithms can both help and mislead when based on incomplete or biased information.
