Maths activity: mean, median, mode, range. Two Excel workbooks, one with macros and one without. 11 values of dice throws show the relationships between: ordered values, the frequency table, the averages table and bar chart. The first workbook has the capability to randomly generate values or manual input. Macros must be enabled to use the second workbook that produces random values. Based on S4 unit in Improving Learning in Mathematics.

A spreadsheet to generate the dice outcomes of the seven dice in this popular game. It is useful if dice have gone missing or dice outcomes need to be presented to a group. There are two views: the faces of the dice and the position of the blockers on the board.

A 17 slide PowerPoint that provides main themes surrounding CAT4 assessment tasks. CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning – thinking with words; quantitative reasoning – thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning – thinking with shapes and spatial ability – thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide ‘predictions’ for GCSE results. The ppt provides an introduction to CAT4 assessments. The normal distribution curve is outlined and the realtionship with stanines and standard age scores and how they are derived from raw scores. The important visual-spatial dynamic of CAT4 is dealt with in detail. Finally, caution is raised when using assessments to label students and create self-fulfilling narratives. A free pdf is available and can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13070115
