Three 'measuring' work stations set up (one for each continuous variable: height, hand span and arm length) with space and materials for 3 groups of 3-4 around each station. Each pupil is to be given a personal data slip that they must complete whilst working in groups of 3-4. | Three 'measuring' work stations set up (one for each continuous variable: height, hand span and arm length) with space and materials for 3 groups of 3-4 around each station.

* Data sets for other classes (or indeed the whole school) could be collected and students could see if the patterns/distributions seen in one class were similar/different to others. | * Data sets for other classes (or indeed the whole school) could be collected and students could see if the patterns/distributions seen in one class were similar/different to others. | ||
* Calculators could be used to work out averages and other data analysis as an alternative, see moving stones activity for examples. | * Calculators could be used to work out averages and other data analysis as an alternative, see moving stones activity for examples. | ||
