Choose honest denominators and assemble evidence for a concise recommendation.
Start with everyday situations, predict an outcome, and test your ideas. You need basic arithmetic, percentages and graph reading; explanations introduce additional ideas where needed. No coding or account is required. Every investigation has school, college and workplace extensions—you can choose any of them.
What you will learn
Create a clear instruction, honest chart specification, research paragraph and decision proposal with traceable evidence.
Before you begin
Read short prose and work with percentages.
No specialist writing background is assumed.
Draft quality and reasoning require review; numerical checks cover only their stated calculations.
The original two-investigation starter remains available. Choosing the full course adds its published lessons to your selected scope; your earlier work stays saved. Skipping does not count as completion or understanding.
Free exploration: no completion scope selected yet. Project reports and independent evidence are tracked separately.
Course outline
Choose a unit, then open a lesson on its own page. This outline lists the sequence; it does not combine the full lessons into one page.

Which people does a percentage actually describe?
Original fictional survey: invitees may respond, and respondents may report satisfaction. Nonresponse is unknown. Sliders retain requested counts. The model caps actual responses at invitations and actual satisfied respondents at actual responses; metrics, bars and traces use those actual counts.

Which evidence fits the decision and the available space?
Original fictional pilot: completion records, four interviews and timing observations describe different aspects of a product. Evidence bundles have explicit assumed word costs including context.
Prepare a before/after instruction, a claim-to-evidence table, a chart specification or attached chart, and a concise proposal about a fictional service. Preserve the original draft so a reviewer can inspect your revision decisions.
Save a report, compare captured evidence, and attempt three new cases. A completed report records submitted work; the rubric supports a separate human review of its quality.
