This is a video to accompany my article for the TES Magazine ('Dotty Thinking') that offers up a simple, fun idea to get students engaged and making meaningful data comparisons, including mean, median, mode, range and a whole host of statistical diagrams including cumulative frequency, histograms and bar charts. Click the links below to see the article and download the resources (Video tutorial, PowerPoint and Excel). Ideal for KS3 and GCSE students.

Questions on Mean, Mode, Median & Range that are not what students are used to seeing. Good for consolidation or extension. Some exam questions have been written this way in recent years. Have attached some solutions and the word file in response to some people saying some were impossible. I've corrected those that I can spot

Super worksheet
This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on Averages and Range, including mean, median, mode and range.
To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm
Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:
1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities
4) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
5) Students can create their own as an extension task
I hope you and your students enjoy them.

Five more questions that Clive seems a bit confused on. These questions involve median and mean from sets of data, plus calculatiing the mean from a frequency table and estimating the mean from grouped data. I will probably throw a couple more questions in verbally (find the modal group etc) whilst discussing the answers and reasons why as a class.

Fantastic resource. Thanks for sharing.
This should bring about plenty of discussion. Four "spiders" of increasing difficulty asking students to complete a list of numbers to make the average and range properties true. A couple of typos corrected.
