Impact of using 60 in 60 in form time alongside fortnightly number challenge with a focus on mental arithmetic. (60 times tables questions in 60 seconds, available from the excellent numberloving blog) I have used a picture from google images here but when I use this in lessons I take a photo of the class first (in height order - tallest on the right - the lesson before if I can) and use that. The pupils find it really easy then to relate the concepts and key words to themselves and they get a real understanding of what lower quartile/ upper quartile and interquatile range means before we even start looking at any data. The Presidents task comes from Don Stewards Blog (Median) which is a fantastic bank of resources if you don't already use it. The powerpoint is one I have picked up along the way - I don't know where it originates from.
To allow pupils time to review mock papers at home, using their own work as feedback we have posted a 'best example' exam paper on our class blog. A photo of every question - using the best answers from within the class - it gives pupils an opportunity to mark their work against that of their peers. I have included two of the pages as an example, we use the entire paper on our blog.
