Kangaroo Maths ... putting the bounce back into teaching!

 
 Data handling & probability
All new resources are now accessed through the relevant interactive scheme of work, but some are still listed below.

Projector Resources

  • Analysing statistics: A Year 7 'Bring on the Maths' activity involving calculation of averages and the range

  • Cumulative Frequency: A PowerPoint slideshow covering the essential points of this topic. Ideal for revision.

  • Graphs and charts: A Year 8 'Bring on the Maths' activity focusing on the interpretation of different graphs and charts

  • Graphs and charts: A KS3 Top-up 'Bring on the Maths' activity focusing on the interpretation of pie charts and bar charts

  • Graphs and Charts: A basic graph-construction exercise that is designed to be placed on a network.

  • Random Numbers: A random number generator. Have a go - it's quite good!

  • Relative Frequency: Two interactive spreadsheets. The first simulates 100 rolls of 2 dice and compares the theory with the experiment; press F9 to roll again - different results each time. The second allows you to add in the results for 3 pupils doing the same experiment - discuss what happens!

  • Statistics: A PowerPoint slideshow covering cumulative frequency, box plots and stem & leaf diagrams. Ideal for revision.

  • Surveys: A PowerPoint slideshow to accompany a discussion about planning a survey. See p.249 of the Numeracy Strategy.

Worksheets

  • Analysing Statistics: Comparing statistics using averages and range

  • Bivariate Data: Match the scatter diagram to its description

  • Conversion Graphs: A worksheet with fascinating food facts

  • Constructing Graphs: A matching pairs activity. Answers are here too.

  • Correlation: Thinking about correlation without the use of scatter diagrams

  • Histograms: If you have a SMART board, this introduction demonstrates the incorrect and correct approach to drawing histograms

  • Pie Charts: Shamelessly pinched from the Numeracy Strategy, this OHT is a good starter

  • Probability: Several possibility spaces to be completed for the rolling of 2 dice.

  • Relative Frequency: A simple experiment with dice

  • Relative Frequency: Following another simple dice experiment, use Excel to investigate relative frequency

  • Statistics: Rainfall statistics hot of the Norfolk presses
