This lesson applies pupil's previous of knowlege mean/median/mode/range and explores bias. I used differentiated tasks from which the pupil gathered and organised their data. For the less able, they had the weather section of a broadsheet and tabloid newspaper. For the more able I used a personal profiles task which another user has put on tes which has little cards that detail various things about a group of people (http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/personal-profiles-Handling-data-6028340/)

A very nice resource based on averages and bias statistics which looks at sensationalised statistics in the news. A good way for pupils to think about facts and figures and what they actually mean. Is there any chance you could put a link on here to the other resource you mentioned in the description at the top. Thanks
