Launched in 2011 SportAtSchool is based on the successful international CensusAtSchool project and has been inspired by the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games.

Like CensusAtSchool SportAtSchool uses an online questionnaire to capture learners’ data, the resultant real data can then be used with our resources and lesson plans. As usual these are free, downloadable and contain a variety of classroom activities.

There is research evidence that hand geometry measurements such as finger lengths, angles between fingers and hand spans can provide information about ability in certain sports, musical tendency and even prowess at mathematics. We have devised a simple method to scan these measurements into a PC using a custom-made cradle, web cam, PC and a back-lit glass plate. The collected data is stored in Excel files and can be used to make statistical investigations more meaningful. Also, the investigations are fun to carry out! Schools can borrow the equipment for their own use.

There are many teachers involved in the delivery of statistics in schools and colleges who lack the confidence and competence to teach the subject successfully.

This is due to their lack of opportunities to learn, either because they do not have a mathematical degree or such a degree did not include Statistics. We have devised a distance learning course that leads to a CERTIFICATE IN TEACHING STATISTICS (up to Pre-university Level).

It is an ideal way to do continuing professional development that, at the same time, leads to a recognised qualification.
