|content= | |content= Students measure themselves (including but not limited to; arm length, height, hand span) and then analyse their data to look for patterns of distribution amongst the class. A spreadsheet allows graphs showing the data to be drawn instantaneously as the data is input - helping students to visualise the variation and distribution of the data within the class. | ||

* Rulers or measuring tapes. For height and other length measurements if tapes/rulers are limited then a single measuring station (for example marked on wall) could be used for the whole class. | |||
* Paint and paper for hand prints or drawing around their own or each other's hand. | |||
* Mini white boards could be used to engage class predictions of possible distributions (most common length, highest value, lowest value and so on) | |||

* Both files will automatically update the pie chart for data. You can add as many children as you like, and you can change the ranges given in the tables. You cannot add or remove rows - the number of intervals should stay the same. You can change the data being visualised by using the 'drop down' menu on the Excel sheet. | |||
