Print out the jigsaw and cut out the triangles. Work with a friend to try to match all the questions with the answers.
Remember to find the mode look for the most frequently occuring data item. To find the mean add up all the data and divide by the number of data items.
Thanks to Mr Barton for the original jigsaw.

This is a great little adventure game where you have to answer problems to explore the tunnels and earn money when you get them right. Some of the questions are GCSE standard but some are Entry Level. See how far you can get! Thanks to Transum Software.
When I was a newly qualified teacher in the early 1980’s the latest trend in maths teaching was Logo. We used to get the students programming the BBC computers to make amazing patterns and shapes. We even used to have a little turtle robot that you could program to draw shapes on the floor! You can have a go at Logo here thanks to Transum.
Here is a great website to learn how to make paper planes.
Why not organise a competition to see which type of plane flies the furthest? Collect data on the flight distances and work out the average distance flown. Does it make any difference if you use mean, median or mode? Work out the range in flight distances. What does this tell you? Which sort of plane is the best?
The Manchester Science Festival encouraged people to grow sunflowers in order to conduct a massive mathematical experiment. Plant the seeds in April and May, nurture the plants throughout the summer and when the sunflowers are fully grown be counting the number of spirals in the seed patterns in the sunflower heads. Don’t worry – expertise will be on hand to help count the seeds and you’ll be able to post your ‘spiral counts’ online.
