Build maths literacy and secure understanding of essential statistics vocabulary with this Level 1 Foundation Match-Up pack.

The resource includes 10 ready-to-use activities, complete solutions and an accompanying PowerPoint for whole-class teaching. Each version rearranges the terms and definitions, providing repeated retrieval practice without pupils simply remembering where each answer appears.

Vocabulary included:

• data
• mean
• median
• mode
• range
• tally
• bar chart
• pie chart
• discrete data
• continuous data

Many pupils can calculate an average or read a chart but struggle to explain the precise language used in statistics questions. This resource provides a simple, low-preparation way to embed literacy in maths lessons while reinforcing key data-handling knowledge.

Each activity contains 10 lettered terms and 10 numbered definitions. Pupils read carefully and match each term to its correct meaning, developing vocabulary, retrieval, reasoning and mathematical communication.

The activities help pupils distinguish between commonly confused terms such as mean, median and mode, as well as discrete and continuous data.

The PowerPoint allows each task to be displayed and discussed with the whole class. Printable PDF worksheets and full solution pages are included for independent work, self-assessment or quick teacher marking.

Ideal for KS3 maths, GCSE Foundation support, maths literacy, starters, plenaries, retrieval practice, revision, intervention, homework, cover lessons, tutoring, mixed-attainment classes, EAL learners and SEN support.
