Teaching guide

What students learn

Calculate and interpret absolute, relative and percentage error, recognising that every measurement is an estimate.

How to teach it

Measure the same quantity a few times, then calculate absolute, relative and percentage error to describe how far a measurement may be from the true value.

Watch out for

Reporting more decimal places than the instrument allows, and confusing absolute error with percentage error.
