This page lists a selection of recommended resources for teaching Statistics at Key Stage 5, organised by topic. Please note that this page is for the legacy specification. Visit the updated statistics page for new specification resources.
Quick links: Correlation and Regression | Discrete Random Variables | Probability | Representing and Summarising Data | Normal Distribution | Binomial and Poisson | Continuous Random Variables | Hypothesis Testing | S1 Revision | S2 Revision
In addition to the resources listed here, I highly recommend the activities provided by the Further Maths Support Network/MEI (school login required), which include topic notes, worksheets, activities and assessments.
Also worth a read is MEI's advice on teaching statistics and this Guide to Dodgy Data.
Huge thanks to all individuals and organisations who share teaching resources.
