Description

Building on students’ previous work on data types, this worksheet lets them put that knowledge to the test, by identifying data types to find the solution to a maths joke.

This worksheet is part of a larger unit designed for Year 6 that helps students develop their understanding of the different types of statistical variables they are likely to encounter during statistical investigations at this level.
