Data Handling Games

Fun and free data handling maths games aimed at Key Stage 2 children including activities such as carroll diagrams, block graphs, mode, median, mean and range, probability and frequency diagrams with tallying. These examples provide an excellent opportunity for children to learn maths concepts through ICT.

Carroll Diagrams - Multiples

Sort multiples of selected numbers on the Carroll Diagram. This game will test your times tables knowledge.

2D Shapes Sorting Using Carroll Diagrams

Sort 2D shapes on Carroll diagrams. There are four levels of difficulty and sorting is by two criteria. The criteria change so the games are replayable.
