Develop pupils’ mathematical literacy, statistical vocabulary and retrieval skills with this complete collection of Data and Statistics Maths Literacy Bingo games.

Designed for mixed-level KS3 and GCSE Mathematics, this interactive whole-class resource helps pupils confidently read, hear, interpret and use the precise language associated with data collection, data representation and correlation.

The teacher displays one definition at a time using the included PowerPoint presentation. Pupils identify the corresponding mathematical term, check whether it appears on their individual bingo card and cross it off.

Pupils must understand each definition before responding, making the activity an engaging way to develop both statistics knowledge and mathematical literacy.

Vocabulary covered

The resource develops understanding of 20 important Data and Statistics terms:

bar chart
bias
categorical data
causation
class interval
continuous data
correlation
data
discrete data
frequency table
grouped data
line of best fit

pie chart
positive correlation
primary data
questionnaire
random sample

The vocabulary ranges from foundational data-handling language to more demanding GCSE terminology associated with sampling, bias and correlation.

Each pupil card contains nine statistical terms arranged across a 6 × 3 grid, with exactly three answers on each row.

Because pupils receive different cards, everyone must listen carefully, interpret the definition and retrieve the correct mathematical vocabulary independently.

Teachers can choose from several winning conditions:

one completed line
two completed lines
full house
