The four starter activities in this resource all take the same format. On opening the file, students are presented with four questions to attempt. Clicking on one of the questions opens another page containing the question and space in which the solution can be written. Ideal for use with and interactive whiteboard...

This set of learning activities supports learners to:

•Become more aware of how mathematics can contribute to successful completion of vocational tasks.

•Reflect on their personal mathematical learning experiences and identify some engaging starting points for their future learning.

•Become...

Subtangent has provided 30 starters and puzzles along with a version of forbidden words, a game where a student has to select a card and communicate a given word to others without using any of the forbidden words written on the card.

Dotty grids, square grids, different types of graph paper and axes and number grids in different orientations make up this collection of printable resources from Subtangent.

These nine instant maths ideas explore a variety of statistical calculations. The first task asks students to discuss a spider diagram depicting descriptive statistics. Other tasks explore misconceptions when calculating different averages and consider which average is the most appropriate to use in different...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Statistical diagrams covers: data collection; extracting data from tables, mileage charts and timetables; data presentation using stem and leaf diagrams, line graphs, tally charts...

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how biometric identification systems rely on mathematical methods to convert images into data that can be digitally stored. It is essential that the biometric systems we depend on for national security can reliably...

What do you know about statisticians? This resource from CensusAtSchool gives information about famous statisticians.

This activity will provide a useful structure for encouraging students to think about what...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. A range of sessions look at different aspects of statistics. They illustrate a variety of teaching and learning approaches and allow practitioners to reflect and develop their skills. Sessions...

This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains seven resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Statistics’. Each resource is an interactive excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student interaction. The topics...

Statistics are a vital tool that can be used to define and solve a wide range of problems in everyday life. In this lesson students will revise and consolidate statistical techniques and then look at how these techniques were used to identify and overcome problems of air pollution in London in the 1950s and how...

This CensusAtSchool resource is based on key concepts needed by students doing GCSE mathematics, although it may be useful for an introductory review at A level or for strong Key Stage Three students. Pairs are asked to discuss statements on cards and decide, with...

This Key Stage Three resource form CensusAtSchool is based on key concepts needed by students to understand basic statistics. Pairs are asked to discuss statements on cards and decide, with justifications, if the statement is true, false or sometimes true.

This book, 'Finding out', from the Shell centre offers a range of materials designed to support students as they pursue extended tasks relating to statistical investigations. The analysis of real data which is of some personal significance can be much more rewarding for...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand assigning probabilities and working with statistical measures.

There are a series of five short tasks for students to complete. Each comes with a detailed rubric.

This task is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration...
