    The document provides instructions for an activity where students look up key socioeconomic data for several countries from sources listed, including life expectancy, education levels, GDP per capita. They then use this data to calculate each country's Human Development Index (HDI) value and plot them on a continuum of development. It asks students to reflect on whether their predictions matched the findings and which HDI factor most influences the index. Students are asked to describe differences in HDI scores and their real-world implications, and provide two factual conclusions based on their analysis.

    HDI Activity NAME:__________________________

    Directions: Using the sources below, find the information listed below each of these countries. After looking up the information for each
    country use the HDI calculator site to determine HDI. Plot each on the continuum (line) of development below and label them on the map.

    The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income per capita indicators, which are used
    to rank countries into four tiers of human development. A country scores higher HDI when the life expectancy at birth is longer, the
    education period is longer, and the income per capita is higher.
