This Key Stage 3 resource is based on key concepts needed by pupil's 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. Solutions are provided in a seperate file. (Mean, median, mode, comparisons, interpreting charts and graphs, probability, pie charts, box plots, scatter diagrams and correlation for KS3.)

Often a graph or chart is plotted to display results rather than a table of numbers but it is important to plot the right graph or chart. This card matching activity asks the learner to match a picture of the graph/chart to it's name, the type of data it could display and when to use it. (Bar charts, pie charts, histograms, scatter diagrams, line graphs (time series) and box plots for KS3, KS4 and KS5.)

This resource is based on key concepts needed by pupil's doing the GCSE Mathematics although it may be useful for an introductory review at A level or for strong KS3 students. Pairs are asked to discuss statements on cards and decide, with justifications, if the statement is True, False or Sometimes true. Solutions are provided. (Cumulative frequency, histograms, frequency polygons, tree diagrams, probability, sampling, mean, median and mode for KS4.)
