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...

From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics for Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students shows how modelling helps decision making by allowing us to see what is likely to happen. The mathematical ideas covered are:
• Modelling cycle
• Binomial...

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...

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 toolkit from Plus magazine and Arctic Survey Education explores statistical aspects of the expedition, including the 'spin' that can be put on statistical evidence to make it sound positive or negative, and methods to predict future trends in Arctic climate change.

The whole toolkit can be downloaded...

This resource covers interpreting and constructing pictograms, tally charts and bar charts. They are designed for teachers working with learners who are new to English. The resources include two sets of flashcards (colours and vocabulary) and a series of three lesson plans.

Each lesson plan includes key...

The Nuffield Foundation provide this resource where students use simulated stature data for men and women in eight countries to draw histograms and look for general results, as manufacturers need to take these into account when they design products. This is mainly intended as an introduction to the normal...

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the field of mechanical engineering. Here students learn that lack of proper insulation results in large energy losses which, over time, cost a lot of money. Models are used to calculate the value of the critical...

This excel workbook shows how to construct a stem and leaf diagram. The first sheet has some raw data at the top and a blank stem and leaf diagram with appropriate key is shown below. The cells in the stem and leaf diagram can be revealed or hidden and by clicking on...

In this activity students begin with a simple introduction to the stock market; calculating new prices for a variety of fictional shares based on daily percentage changes.

The task requires students to calculate simple percentage changes. A spreadsheet is provided for students to record their results which...

This Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, takes a practical example of costing advertising space in a newspaper and involves the use of spreadsheets to assist in calculating and re-calculating costs. It aims to develop students' awareness of the need for algebraic formulae.

Students need to...
