Description
Train Race Game - Help Pythagoras and Hypatia make their connecting trains. This shockwave game from BBC Education can be used to extend a basic understanding of the median, mean and range. Data about particular trains is given from which estimates of the arrival time are calculated. The reliability of a particular train is assessed by the size of its range: a train is judged to be more reliable than another if it has a smaller range. Teacher support and print-offs are provided.
