CensusAtSchool goes sporty!
With London 2012 just around the corner we have been working on lots of new and exciting resources for our SportAtSchool project. This has exactly the same format as CensusAtSchool but with a sporty look.
SportAtSchool includes a brand new online questionnaire, the option to request your class's data, some fantastic new data handling resources and suggestions on how to build these into a data handling lesson. See all of the new material on the SportAtSchool website.
Getting to the Point
Where will you View the Olympic Torch Relay?
We have created an interactive environment for school-aged learners, ‘Getting to the Point in 2012’, to explore where they can see the Olympic Torch Relay. This brand new online mapping and data gathering project has been granted the Inspire mark by the London 2012 Inspire programme.
Topics included in this resource are; investigations using the Problem Solving Cycle, scatter graphs, correlation, box plots and percentage change. Designed for teachers, particularly of maths and science, to:
• Download free cross-curricular teaching resources;
• Involve your learners in collecting their real data;
• Integrate ICT into lessons via the online questionnaire;
• Receive your learners’ data for use in your classroom;
• Compare your school’s data with others nationally;
• Involve parents in their children’s learning.

- Do children read newspapers?
- Is it true that parents’, guardians’ or carers’ favourite subject at school was Maths?
- What sort of TV programs do children like to watch?
- What is the Olympic sport girls prefer to watch? Is it the same for boys?
Compare your learners' answers to these questions and more by completing the CensusAtSchool Phase 10 questionnaire.
